I just competed last month and I am getting ready to compete again in a few weeks at home in CA. I feel like I just stepped off stage and very ready to step back on again.This show will be the fifth one for me this year.
I get just as excited as my first time on stage with less of the nervousness. Therefore, it gets to be a better experience each time! My attitude for training now is the same as it was in gymnastics as a teenager which is sheer excitement to show off all of my hard work.
I sometimes hesitate to use the words “hard work”, since I associate it with something that may be negative and/or unfulfilling. My training is very intense, yet I have so much love for it that it seems to be effortless. There are times I may be feeling tired or stressed which has an impact on my training, yet I am always excited and grateful with the time I spend doing it. That motivation and love for training inspires me throughout the year to compete. For me, it is a time to display my physique just as an artist would display their own sculpture.
I am very blessed to have clients who inspire me in many different ways for my own goals. Recently, I have been coaching a client, Maggie, who has an overwhelming excitement to improve her physique and step on stage. She expresses her love for training and contest prep every time we meet. I feel so grateful to hear someone else express my thoughts and level of excitement back to me. Our shows are at the same venue on the same day, so I have the honor of competing the day of her first show. She is an inspiration to me as I prepare for my time on stage and her positive energy will be an overflow of inspiration on show day.
With all of this extra inspiration, I have had extra intense training. I have been heavily relying on HMB for recovery and to further sculpt my physique. Come out and support the Titans Grand Prix show in Culver City, CA on Oct. 22nd!
