Ben Calder-Lee
Weight Lifting
- Grantee | August 2023
Like many in their teen years, Ben struggled with mental health. Weightlifting gave him a positive focus and personal challenges. Now 21, Ben is a record holder, Canterbury and NZ champ, and ranks 5th in the world. Ben balances university study with training, coaching others and is a Canterbury Powerlifting Assoc committee member. This Grant will help him to the IPF Jnr Worlds in Romania to build further global experience towards the Olympics and ultimately to create a motivational strength and conditioning business to help others.
