It was very well edited and captured the essence of what I perceive Melanie and her family to be about.<BR/><BR/>Second, I like Melanie's observations about letting expectations go (the text was in the context of her child, but there was also subtext there in the form of the rest of your life, including weightlifting): just come in and do the hard work every day and don't worry so much about the future.<BR/><BR/>Third, how does she handle the screaming? I think that has to be the worst. The screaming and the temper tantrums. Weightlifting (with its predictable clanks and clinks) must sound beautiful to her after the screaming.<BR/><BR/>Finally, it's too bad that you don't live closer to Melanie and could help her more with your superior lift analysis! For Olympic athletes, it really is a team effort, isn't it?<BR/><BR/>AlexAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
