Women’s Olympic Wrestling As A Medium For Love, Effort & Creativity with Gold Medalist, Sarah Hildebrandt
Olympic gold medalist Sarah Hildebrandt takes us through her wrestling journey from sitting in the stands of her brother's competition to winning a gold medal in the 2024 Olympics. We touch on how Sarah manages being competitive versus trusting her journey, her experience and overall health as a result of cutting weight and having to diet intensely, and how yoga specifically has positively impacted her. Sarah opens up about her future priorities, and how she has intentionally chosen to detach herself from outcomes in order to keep this sport as a fun addition to her life.
In this episode:
- Wrestling boys vs. girls at the start of her career
- Managing competitiveness, perfectionism & pressure
- Her family’s role in supporting her talent
- How Sarah approaches cutting weight and her body positivity journey
