It's hard to believe 2006 is almost over. This has been a very good year for me. I really enjoyed competing in my first professional level contest as well as being an integral part in helping others in their competitive pursuits. I'm not certain if I'll take the stage in 2007 primarily because of the financial commitment involved and other obligations I must attend to. It does look like I'll be working with more athletes than ever next year which is very exciting.
Earlier in the year, I had the pleasure of working with Ann Caliri for the 2006 Masters Nationals where she placed 4th in the middleweight class. Ann has a beautiful structure, is dedicated and disciplined and only needs to add a little more muscle to climb higher. This photo is from the guys at Women's Physique World - www.wpw.net.
I mentioned Amy Sibcy in my post on September 10th. Amy came in 2nd in the middleweight class at the North American taking a big step up having placed 5th at the Jr. Nationals 3 months earlier. I'll be helping Amy again in 2007 for the Master's Nationals and possibly the USA. Unfortunately, I don't have any stage pictures of Amy to post here, but here's one taken post contest by Tom Nine.
I had the pleasure of working with two women for this year's Nationals... Tera Guzman from Florida who placed 3rd (out of 17) in the lightweight class and Holly Geersen of Colorado who placed 7th (out of 16) in her first National level contest in the very competitive lightheavyweight class. Tera is a busy gym owner and property manager and Holly is a Chiropractor. In spite of heavy work schedules, these two trained and dieted very hard for this contest. Working with them was a pleasure and now that I know how they repond, I expect to see them move up at the 2007 Nationals and/or North American Championships.
Julia Stamper from Indiana competed as a heavyweight at the Jr. Nationals. Unfortunately, Julia's look did not bide well with the criteria for Jr. level competition. I'll be working with her again in 2007 for the USA and the Nationals where she'll definitely be a better fit. Check out Julia's section on my testimonials page.
Congratulations all of you on a job well done!
