To become a great athlete, a person needs to make their sport a priority. This is the exact reason why retiring from an elite sport may be an extremely hard transition. Meredith Alwine retired two years ago; we sat down for a candid conversation on what helped and what still needs to be dealt with.
Meredith Alwine is a former Team USA 71/76kg weightlifter who won the 2021 World Championships, the 2020 World Cup, 3 Pan American Championships, and other titles before retiring in 2024. She now serves as the Elite Athlete Director on the USAW Board of Directors, the Vice Chair of the Athletes' Advisory Council, and the weightlifting representative on the Team USA Athletes' Commission. Outside of weightlifting, Meredith attends SMU Dedman School of Law and lives in Dallas, Texas, with her boyfriend and two dogs.
