2x Masters Wellness Champion. đ„đ„
This past weekend, Nat stepped on stage at the Popeyes Classic Natural and brought home 1st Place in the 35+ Masters and 40+ Masters.
And just for a little perspectiveâŠ
Nat is 45 years old.
Let that sink in for a second.
Now, as proud as I am of these wins, we arenât done yet.
Weâre sitting about 12 days out from the Natural Canada Pro Qualifier, so thereâll be plenty of time to celebrate later. Rn, we keep our foot on the gas.
Nat⊠I couldnât be prouder of you.
Not because of the wins, but because of the athlete youâve become throughout this prep.
You never once looked for shortcuts.
You never made excuses nor did you settle.
Life got busy. Things got hard. There were moments where it wouldâve been easy to back off, but you didnât. You adapted, stayed locked in, trusted me, trusted the process, and kept showing up.
Thatâs why youâre standing where you are today.
I also want to say something that I think more people need to hear.
People think great coaching is about having the perfect diet, the perfect training program, or the coach whoâs got the âsecretâ or âmagic potionâ.
Itâs not.
Great coaching starts with a relationship.
It starts with trust.
Because coaching isnât a dictatorship.
Itâs a partnership.
My job isnât to control your life or make prep harder than it needs to be.
My job is to understand who you are, what your life looks like, where your strengths lie, where youâre holding yourself back, and then build a plan that allows you to become the best version of yourself.
No two athletes are the same.
No two lives are the same.
The best coaches donât force athletes into their system.
They build a system around the athlete.
From the day Nat and I started working together, that relationship was effortless. Communication was easy. Trust was there. She executed, I adjusted, and together we kept raising the standard.
Thatâs how physiques are built.
Thatâs how champions are built.
Nat, this is only the beginning.
Iâm grateful to be in your coach, and I canât wait to see what we bring to the stage in 12 days.
Letâs go finish the job. đȘ
