lizzie welborn’s journey from not being a sporty kid to becoming an australian ironwoman
Lizzie Welborn’s story begins quite differently to other female athletes. Growing up, she wasn’t sporty and sport wasn’t a big part of her childhood. That was until age 10 when she started surf lifesaving. From there, her competitive spark was lit, and by age 16 she was competing in the professional Australian Ironwoman Series, making her one of the youngest athletes in history to qualify. This week Chloe sits down with Australian Ironwoman Lizzie Welborn. Lizzie opens up on the pressure of expectation after finding success so early in her career, and how she battled with body confidence and restrictive eating along the way. Before it all led her to start Kamana - a program designed to educate and empower female athletes on taboo topics so they can reach their potential in sport and life.
