Ayse and I were training partners when our coach left our barbell club for another opportunity. After we both competed in the 2015 American Masters Weightlifting championship, Ayse took over as my coach and programmer.
Her training knowledge, experience, and keen eye lead me to multiple personal records (PRs) in my training. This culminated in a gold medal at the 2016 National Masters Weightlifting Championship. I achieved a meet PR in my snatch (87kg), my clean and Jerk (117kg), and my total (204kg), resulting in my first national title.
Ayse’s love and commitment to coaching is demonstrated daily with her personal attention to her athletes and their individual goals. I am excited to reach new heights in my weightlifting career under her guidance.
