Maimi Revisted

Competing in Miami was an experience like no other. The weather, waves, women, nothing quite compares to being in South Beach during the summertime. Oddly enough, it came completely out of left field. I never could have predicted that my passion for the sport would take me so many miles away from home.

The truth is, the entire trip wouldn't have been possible without the help of family and friends. Leading up to the show, they were the ones who believed in me. They saw my potential and urged me to compete against the best. In fact, they even went so far as to cover some of my expenses.

Due to their actions, I learned the value of a strong support system. Having a great physique is one thing, but it takes more than just muscles to be a champion. Surrounding yourself with the right people can make all the difference. I know it did for me.
