Send steve to world masters!
Hey guys!
I want to keep this nice and simple so I'll keep it as short as I can!
Basically my husband Stephen hyland has qualified to represent Ireland in the world Olympic weightlifting masters championships this year in Montreal, Canada! Unfortunately, we do not get any sort of funding for these events so we have to fund ourselves if we want to compete for our country. Also unfortunately, things like this are expensive!
Let me just say a few things about Stephen. As long as I've known him, Stephen has been in love with weightlifting. Everything about it! It's constantly on his mind and all he talks about.(If you know steve you know what I mean)
He is THE MOST DEDICATED person I've ever seen towards a sport. Hands down. He trains so hard! Every single session he gives 100%, and when he's not in the gym killing himself, he's at home or in work, studying on how to improve more and also doing his other love in life ...STRETCHING
It's taken steve 6years to get to this point. 6years of training hard,6years of staying motivated! so he could reach his goal! Going to world masters is stephens goal.
This year has been his most successful in weightlifting yet, culminating with Stephen reaching the qualifying standard for world masters and finishing 3rd at the Irish masters last February!
He is continuing to improve and continuing to progress! I am so incredibly proud of my husband! I know now what hard work looks like and Stephen is the epiphany of it.
No excuses,no moaning just hard work.
His passion and motivation towards the sport continues to inspire me everyday #myhero
Steve has supported me and others in our weightlifting careers, forming clubs x 3! and continues to support us still. And I'm sure there's a lot of people that will agree with me on this but his coaching is pure heart. All he ever wants is for people to reach there full potential.
To start any sport at the age of 28 is not easy. And to keep it up and keep pushing through the hard days you have to have a goal?
Stephens goal was to always qualify for an international competition.
And now he's finally done it!
There's no one I know that deserves it more to be given the opportunity to represent there country on a international stage.
Please please help donate!
Thank you!
