15 days to be better.
I went into this Season with one intention - to act like a professional, present like a professional and conduct myself like a professional.
Despite some turbulence, I can say with confidence that I delivered this Prep in a manner I’m proud of.
Are there gaps to close? Absolutely. But the one gap I’ve closed is the size gap. I’ve coined myself as a talented Men’s Physique Competitor - and that’s all I could ask. To undeniably show those around me that I can walk the walk and am truly capable.
Initially, I thought I’d be disappointed not taking away the win. But the gratitude and positivity which came out of this placing is not something I can place into words - let alone how much I enjoyed being up there battling it out with other class competitors.
Thanks to our amazing judges, I’ve been able to receive feedback promptly and action it. Not only will I be coming into Nationals with a better package, but I’ll be coming in with a different mindset and a completely different oura.
Prep can be difficult at times, but I’ll say it time and time again - the sheer gratitude for life it gives you is unmatched.
While the last 18 months of my life have been far from ideal, these moments for me re-assure me that there’s light at the end of every tunnel.
And that everyone’s home coming moment, where everything seems to start paying off will eventually be due.
My moment is here.
Let’s get back to work.
