For Zoa Linsey the year 2010 may not be ending with her being a champion on stage and claiming the Ms Olympia title. However, in my opinion it is ending even more significantly with her emerging from an overwhelming injury stronger, wiser and indeed a champion of life itself. For most of us reading this, the pain of a headache is enough to send us whimpering to the cupboard in search of solace in an Advil bottle. It is beyond the boundaries of our imagination to even begin to understand the pain Zoa endured this past year due to an increasingly serious injury. That she has remained positive throughout is a testament to her strength of will, determination and true warrior spirit.
“Success is never final. Failure is never fatal. It is courage that counts!” WINSTON CHURCHILL.
These are the words that Figure competitor, Tammy Bravomalo has chosen to live by and, as such, speak volumes about her attitude towards life. In fact even when it comes to the business of competing Tammy has a very grounded attitude, having shared with me before this interview that when it comes to competing she never allows herself to become discouraged by a placing, she simply uses each experience as an opportunity to learn and improve on for the next show. And, when you consider that she placed second in her very first show and then followed it up with a first place in the next contest she entered, you can tell she is a very fast learner!
The title of this article is the very best way I can sum up Mercedes Perez…when it comes to the way she approaches her life she sees absolutely no limits to what she can achieve. Her attitude towards life is charged with an intense energy and it appears that when she sets her mind on something that ‘something’ is gonna happen and she won’t quit till it does.
With a roster of successful clients and a very firm hold on the fitness modeling market, Mercedes managed to capture that elusive sponsorship deal (with Optimum/ABB) after her very first competition. Now with her eyes set firmly on the prize of gaining a Pro Card in the bikini division I for
one do not doubt that the next year will see that becoming a reality.
So just who is this woman with the Midas touch?
