This past Saturday I along with the other Get Fitters had
the opportunity to sit down and speak with athlete and author, Dawn Tillman. Down Tillman earned the title of the Fastest
Woman in the World in 1989 where she set an American record for the 60 meter
dash and where she established the NCAA records in the 100 and 200 meter
sprints while at LSU. Both which are
still standing today. As an elite athlete,
Dawn understands the importance of taking care of the body. She also believes that many physical threats
and certain behaviors are directly connected with to our mental, emotional and spiritual
well-being, and that there are easy and simple things that we can do today to
make sure that they are in alignment and functioning harmoniously.
Dawn is also the author of the soon to be released book, Elevate: Detoxify Yourself to Physical,
mental and Spiritual Health which is a whole body wellness guide. So to say that I was a little excited to
meet Dawn would be a complete understatement.
I am completely facilitated by athletes…their drive...determination and
especially their commitment to being excellent in their given sport is most fascinating. So I was eager to hear what she had to say
and to learn as much from her as I could.
During our meeting with Dawn she spoke about the importance of
making sure that the physical, mental and spiritual elements are in alignment
for total health and well-being. She
also provided us with a handout that listed 13 mindsets of an athlete that we
could use to help us achieve our weight-loss goals.
Dawn’s personality was warm and welcoming and very bubbly
and she is everything and more that I had hoped she would be. It was a pleasure being able to share the
same space with her and I am eagerly awaiting her book as I know it will help
many others like me and my fellow Get Fitters get on the road to better health
and overall well-being.
