In your opinion, how important is motivation and confidence when aiming to accomplish a goal?
Motivation is really everything. We are all motivated in different ways by different things. This is why goal setting is so essential in achieving your goal. If you set small goals along the way it gives you a satisfaction along with and I can do this attitude.
In your eyes, what combination of hard work and natural ability is needed to reach the top?
There is no room for lack of hard work and motivation when preparing for a show or working on a new healthy lifestyle. Natural ability does play a huge role however nothing will beat an athlete with heart and drive.
Give me some examples from your life where confidence has helped you to achieve?
Believing in yourself is a basis of confidence. I had a few people tell me that I would never be able to look like I used to after having my daughter. I used this as motivation to maintain a healthy pregnancy and was able to step on stage just 5 ½ months in a pro show after giving birth.
What do you find the most challenging about competing? Keeping my life balanced between my family, work & training. Staying close to my contest weigh year round through clean eating makes contest preparation much easier.
