Initial situation
Where coaching started.
After severe injuries and discouraging predictions, Grit needed a progressive approach that respected her history without permanently limiting her.
Coaching approach
How the plan responded.
Coaching combined progressive lower-body training with nutrition routines, travel adaptations, step anchors and fallback systems for stressful weeks.
- Used progressive ranges of motion
- Built load alongside movement confidence
- Kept adaptations connected to real-life training goals
Progression
How the next steps were chosen.
Depth, control and strength were progressed together rather than treating movement as permanently off limits.
Supported outcome
Grit built deep lunges, 50 kg front squats, independent training confidence, -6.1 kg body weight, -7.3 kg fat mass and +1 kg muscle mass.
