April 2023 Athlete of the Month

The Core Values of Conqueror Weightlifting are Effort, Attitude, Trust and Respect.

Each month, we recognize one of our athletes who excels in consistently demonstrating these Core Values. Our April 2023 Athlete of Month is Bode Bratsburg.

Bode is a 10-year-old multi-sport athlete who started training with us back in August to improve his overall sports performance. His most notable achievements during this time include winning the AAU and Nebraska USA Wrestling State Championships and qualifying for the USA Weightlifting National Youth Championships. In addition to being a wrestler and weightlifter, Bode also plays football and baseball.

Two of the qualities that have helped facilitate Bode’s impressive athletic success are his strong work ethic and intense desire to succeed. Despite a demanding multi-sport practice schedule, he has remained committed to attending all scheduled training sessions and he always gives his very best effort. Additionally, he approaches training with a positive attitude while seeking to improve each time he sets foot in the gym. Ultimately, Bode is the type of athlete you can count on to do everything necessary to be successful.

At just 10-years-old, Bode has bright future ahead as a young athlete. His disciplined work ethic and excellent attitude are certain to take him far. Congratulations to Bode on being selected as our Athlete of the Month!
