I did eight competitions and when you\u2019re also training three times a week, it\u2019s a lot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut it\u2019s been different this time around. It\u2019s partly because of life pressures \u2013 I made a conscious decision to take a step back as my child was doing their GCSEs and I wanted to focus on them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m only doing three competitions this year and that suits me. I understand a bit better what my body is capable of and just because I\u2019m not doing as much doesn\u2019t mean I\u2019m not capable of producing good results again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s definitely more relaxed and sometimes that is when you can produce your best lifts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"teads\" class=\"teads-advert EHGGJF\" data-provider=\"3\" data-devices=\"dtm\" data-format=\"['teads',2,1]\"\/> <\/p>\n<p>And as well as focusing on her own performance, Taylor will also be concentrating on what her fellow British team-mates produce.<\/p>\n<p>The Balsham-raised lifter has taken on a coaching role within the team \u2013 and that is something that she finds more mentally draining than her own fortunes.<\/p>\n<p>She added: \u201cI feel more pressure and anxiety with the coaching. I take it so seriously and I really like supporting and helping a lifter to be the best they can be.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI really enjoy it, especially watching others achieve, but it\u2019s definitely something that is emotionally exhausting and I\u2019m more wiped out watching than competing myself.
