Don't Give Up!!!
Good afternoon everyone, I want to say to everyone who is competing to not give up if you're in hops of getting your pro-card. I say this because It took my 3 years to nail it and garner my pro-card.
I competed in the NPC National Championship in Orlando, Florida, back in 2022 I placed 9th out of 29. I was a little perturbed as I thought I deserved to make the top 6. I did not have a coach at this time and it was all me. So I went back to the drawing board to configure a plan to get better.I thought I looked good here but I was outsized as I came in a little small for the weigh in as I thought being tight and sharp was everything.
(I'm in the green trunks with the NASTY back)
Then in 2023 I competed in the NPC National Championship in Texas, where this time I placed 4th out of 17. I was upset but there was such a sense of accomplishment as I had gotten this far by myself. I knew at that point with everything in me that I was going to go pro next year. As I would have an extra set of eyes to help me push and go further. I was 2 spots away as the top 2 go pro in each category, I was so happy as last year I was 9th, so I made a significant jump, therefore progress had been made.
Then there was North Americans in Pittsburgh PA, where the competition was REAL!! I came into North Americans with an attitude of, this is my show, I came into this show incredibly confident and ready to take what I seen as mine. I woke up the morning of the show being full, ripped, hard and dense. I knew the hard work had paid off and I also knew that utilizing a coach paid off. It was 3 years in the making but it happened because changes were made in the pursuit of said pro-card. This is a marathon not a sprint, you're only competing with yourself while in the process of getting on stage.
Don't stop and DO NOT GIVE UP if this is what you want. You can do it, you just have to make transitions during your process. Most of all you have to believe in yourself, you have to know you're that dude before anybody ever tells you you are.
God bless you all, and keep fighting to get better, as you don't know how close you are to reaching what you consider your individual success.
