In this episode of the 2 Girls 1 Bar podcast, Mandi and Wanda are joined by Team USA's Sophie Shaft. They discuss Sophie's extensive athletic journey, from her early days in gymnastics to her transition into CrossFit and ultimately weightlifting. They explore the challenges Sophie faced, including burnout and coaching styles, and how she found a supportive environment with her current coach, Zach Cawell. The conversation also touches on the importance of sports psychology and how Sophie's experiences shape her approach to coaching youth athletes.
