Team ECF Newsletter November 2023
Member of the Month:
Helena Cartwright
This months Member of the month is none other than Helena Cartwright.
Helena began training with us May 2023, with very limited experience of training and especially of Olympic Lifts. Nevertheless, Helena immediately took to our training methods and learnt that patience would overcome speed. Fast forward 5 months, Helena is moving extremely well overall especially with the Olympic lifts. She has gained so much confidence and this has been a pleasure to facilitate.
Her attitude towards training has been excellent and works tirelessly to improve every session.
Well done Helena, you have thoroughly earned Member of the Month!
Please be sure to congratulate Helena if you see her in the Box!
