Positivity is Powerful 🎯 Sometimes we have the best laid plans and shit hits the fan when we least expect it. When that happens you have 2 choices: Option 1: Let it take you down and give up Option 2: Follow through and make the best out of it I’ll be honest, when Megan came down with the flu AND found out she had a hernia at 3 weeks out from her first show, I didn’t know if she’d even make it to stage let alone place. We needed those last 2 weeks prior to peaking to push and come in conditioned, so I was honest with her and said this won’t be the “best” we were hoping for in terms of her stage package. But she took option 2, and she stayed positive and realistic through it all. She didn’t let anything bring her so low that she stopped trying. She came to me with a goal and she was going to finish it come hell or high water. That positivity and capable attitude carried her into the NPC Natural Kentucky where she placed 1st in Open, 1st in Novice, and Overall Novice Champion! Pretty good for your first show and being off your game😉 Swipe for our first check in together vs 2 weeks out. I’m extremely proud of her and everything she overcame to get here. That relentless spirit she showed throughout the end of prep is going to take her incredibly far in both bodybuilding and in life. For now our season is done; Megan has lots of life gains to make including getting healthy again, getting through pre-PA school, and taking a break from the extremes of contest prep. We’ll be back though and will come for much more next time, mark my words😈 Interested in bodybuilding coaching? Link in Bio or shoot me a DM!
