Happy New Year! 🎉 - “Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” Ferris Bueller - Movie quotes from 1986 still ring oh so true 38yrs later to take advantage of every day. - As a kid we all feel we have endless amounts of time. Weeks seemed like months and months seemed like years and now months seem like weeks and years seem like months... Heck pandemic was 4yrs ago! - Without getting too deep I think we can all agree we aren't getting younger and life doesn't get easier but as long as you have goals, a plan of attack, and you are consistent while giving maximum effort you can make what seems impossible possible. - If a picture is worth a thousand words this one could be a novel about not giving up on your dreams and pushing yourself harder than even you thought was possible. - Shannon's journey wasn't easy but from this picture you think she regrets the time and effort she put in over the last 5-6yrs to make her dream a reality? - 2023 was a great year for some and for others it wasn't. The difference is mindset, effort applied, and attitude. - Win or Lose we learn. Losing is a part of winning. Don't let the wins go to your head and the losses go to your heart. - Win or lose the goal is always to be better. MAKE 2024 YOUR BEST YEAR YET! - Want to make 2024 your best year yet?

Prep Files with James @bb_e11is - When a 45yr man looks better than most people of any age, it's just another example that age is just a number. - Proper nutrition, training, and cardio only go so far without goals, the proper guidance, and putting in the work. - If you are someone who struggles with hitting your physique goals or even health goals, look at everything you are doing first, but also try to find the things you aren't doing as well. Everything matters! - James has a job where he travels every week and doesn't have the luxuries of being at home except on the weekends. While most people would use that as an excuse not to reach their goals, we devised a plan to not only hit those goals but also allow him to compete in his very first show! - 2024 is right around the corner, so don't let next year be a repeat of this year. Even if it was a great year, promise yourself to make it even better! Set goals, crush those goals, and repeat! 🙌 - Looking for Coaching?

*Late Post* Congrats to Team UMs Figure Athlete Jen @j.sansone for her improved package she brought to the NPC Nationals earlier this month! - Jen placed just outside the Top 5, BUT this was a bigger show and in my opinion a tougher show. Sometimes the placing doesn't reflect the improvements and while it sucks you have to keep pushing forward! - The main goal is ALWAYS to bring a better package and she did. I'd rather lose a tougher show looking my best than win a small show looking my worst...some won't agree but at the end of the day you have to be honest with yourself and ask yourself... were you better? - Overall, I'm happy with Jens' package and felt Top 5 was a lock but it is what it is...plus we coming for wins not Top 5. I always say the difference between 1st and last isn't that much. Just like in sports, this is a game of inches and a game of "little more". - Little more muscle, little more conditioning, little more work on posing, and I feel Jen is a lock for a Pro Card in 2024! 🔐 - Looking for Coaching?

Congrats to Team UMs Men's Physique Athlete James @bb_e11is on a solid showing this past weekend at the NPC Mel Chancey Holiday Classic in Florida! - This was James very 1st SHOW and to anyone that knows, this is one of the biggest regional shows of the year! For example, there was 22 people in his True Novice class! - James also grabbed Top 3 in both Masters and Open with the buzz being he could've even won his classes as he was the best conditioned in all his classes! - Sometimes judges like size over conditioning and sometimes they like conditioning over size but I'm very happy and very impressed with his overall package especially being 45yrs old and again his first show. - Now we will reverse, detox, and leanbulk with the goal of adding 5-10lbs of additional muscle. I feel that additional muscle with the same conditioning will put James in a good position to hit the National Stage next summer. - Congrats again, James. Seriously an impressive package no matter the age and whether it was your 1st show or 100th show! 🥉🥉🥉 - Looking for Coaching?

🏆AND NEW IFBB PRO... - Tamika Tucker @tamikatfit also turned Pro this past weekend at the NPC Nationals in Texas! - There's a lot to discuss here, but 1st off, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 🥳 - Tamika did her first Wellness show in July at the Chicago Pro/AM and placed 2nd. She also did USAs and placed 6th right outside the Top 5. Like her sister Shannon, she had too much on her plate and will admit her prep wasn't 100%. - Failure, in my opinion, is the best motivation and learning tool there is. I knew that with Tamika being a Division 1 Track Athlete, she hates to lose... and Top 6 isn't bad, but when you know you could've been better, that's a loss in my book. - As soon as Tamika stepped off stage, we instantly both looked at each other and said ....Nationals! - Now, before I get ahead of myself, Tamika is what I would consider a UNICORN in this sport, a two-way athlete, meaning she can fit the criteria of two divisions...Wellness & Figure - As prep went on and got closer, it was more and more apparent to do both classes at Nationals and let the judges decide what division they like her in best. - Prejudging started with Wellness. 19 in her stacked class, and she placed Top 5! Now, imo if she was a little leaner in the glute/hamstring tie-in, she could've been Top 2 and earned Pro Status in Wellness too! - Figure was up next, and she dominated her class with overall size and symmetry! - Realistically, once Pro, you can do any Division you want. People change divisions as they outgrow the current division they are in, or if they struggle in the division they turned Pro. - I feel that Tamika could be a very good Wellness Pro if we decided to lay off growing her upperbody, keep growing legs and glutes BUT the fact that she won her Figure Class and grows muscle easily I feel it's best to just keep making improvements and jump in the Pro Ranks as Figure...but never say never. - Overall her Physique is totally opposite of her sister Shannon but both their types of Physiques are dangerous on stage. If Tamika and Shannon were battling for Overall last weekend who's to say these sisters won't both be on the Olympia stage one day battling it out again? 🙌 #skysthelimit

🥇AND NEW IFBB PRO... - Shannon Burge @shannon_burge just became one of Team UMs Two Newest Figure Pros this past weekend at the 2023 Npc Nationals in Texas! - Shannon has been with UM for 4yrs. She joined in 2019 won a big regional show and took a few years off from the stage. - When we spoke last December at the Olympia about making 2023 her year (along with her sister which ill get to in the next post) and finally hit the National Stage she put it on her 2023 goal list and hit the ground running January 1st. - This past July, if you remember, she did a warmup and won the overall at the Chicago Pro/AM and a few weeks later took Top 5 at USAs in Vegas. - We both weren't going out like that, especially since she will be the first to tell you she couldn't give 100% during that prep with everything she had going on at that time. - I told her to lock in and focus on bringing her legs in better condition with more overall size, and she will be hard to beat. - Well, last weekend she was 1st, and honestly imo could've even won the overall. While not the biggest, her shape and condition were best in the show. - The goal now is to keep adding more size before stepping on stage for her Pro Debut without sacrificing her shape or conditioning. - Tons of raw talent and crazy genetics with Shannon. She reminds me a lot like a Top 3 Olympian I used to coach except Shannon is taller, which makes her more dangerous when she packs on the additional size needed to hang with these Top Pros. - Can she do it? Absolutely! I hope she puts a Pro Win on her 2024 Goal List. 😄 - Congrats again, Shannon. I always knew you were capable of turning Pro. Let's see if you can prove me right about becoming a TOP PRO! 🙌 - Posing Coach @stacyesp_ifbbpro Looking for Coaching?

🥇Two New IFBB Figure Pros!🥇 - Team UM came to the Npc Nationals with one goal in mind, and that was to turn PRO! - The Ultimate goal was for both Team UMs Sisters (yes sisters) Tamika @tamikatfit and Shannon @shannon_burge not just to turn Pro but for each to win their classes and battle together for the Overall and they did! - While I will do an individual post for each of them soon, just know this is not any individual sport. The fact these two sisters helped push each other this whole prep was not only a blessing that paid off, but it was an enjoyment for me to watch. - As a coach, I wear many hats. I lay out the plan, adjust the plan, motivate, push, teach, and help athletes understand the process but I can only imagine what it must feel like to have your brother or sister not only there with you during your prep to go through the process but you both WIN the same show together! - Honestly, this might be a first in the history of the NPC, where two siblings both won their classes in the same division the same day. - Might have to have @aroundthenpc_jm fact check that, but either way, I'm so so proud of these two and couldn't ask for a better way to wrap up 2023! - As always, I thank you all for the love and support of this Team. I appreciate it beyond words. While this year seemed a lil off with the overall landscape of this sport because of the economy etc this Team still managed to grab 5 Pro Cards this year! I know 2024 this sport will be back bigger than ever, and I'm here for it! - If anyone wants to come along for the ride and be a part of this amazing group of athletes, let me know, and let's make 2024 another year to remember! 🧡🖤 #letschasethesedreams - Looking for Coaching?
