Summary

Evie Corrigan began lifting just over four years ago and started Powerlifting shortly after. This was truly her first introduction to competitive sport, yet within two years, and in her first international competition, she got to represent her home country of New Zealand and became a Junior World Champion. How did her motivations to lift change once she became an overnight champion? What pressures did she experience? Fast forward to earlier this year, she was one of the few IPF lifters invited to compete in the now-canceled Sheffield. Join us in this episode of Iron Culture where we get to take a look into the experience of a world champion who never saw it coming. Trust me, there is a lot of wisdom in this episode, and we were grateful Evie shared it with us!

0:32.9	We would have been twin champs.
0:34.4	Kind of Michael Jackson, Paul McCartley, there's this photo of them kind of clasping
0:39.0	hands and raising it in victory together.
0:41.4	That could have been us.
0:42.7	And it would have been us.
0:44.3	And then I find out that not only do you invite Brett Gibbs into your domicile, I also find
0:52.7	that you invite someone else, and she might be well-spoken, Evie,
0:56.8	whatever, and there's a lot to learn here, and her self-awareness was refreshing,
1:02.5	but you keep inviting new people, and I still haven't been there at Casa Helms. So I want to know
