The past few months the number
of who people have approached me asking why I was choosing to compete with The
WBFF have been countless. My immediate response to those individuals was that
it was the organization that best fit my goals and dreams within the fitness
industry. Before even the competition
day itself I knew Paul Dillett’s stage would be like no other. The first thing
that attracted me to the WBFF was the large amount of stage time given to the
athletes to showcase their hard work. I have just spent weeks, months, hours
working my butt off literally to get my body in great shape. I want more than
30 seconds to merely strike one front and back pose and then shoved to a line
and merely remembered as a number. Paul
gives us time to really own the stage and show off our work while also having
The MC give introductions of ourselves while we try and impress the judges.
The show day itself was
unbelievably organized it blew my mind. As I entered the casino surprisingly
there to greet me into the event and hold the door for me was Paul Dillett
himself. I got to exchange a few shorts words with him about my excitement and how
I was really looking forward to the big day. I mean I was about to compete with
The Best of The Best- how could I not be excited? Not to mention I was a little
giddy I had just met the man himself Mr. Dillett (IFBB PRO)- if only I had
asked for an autograph. I figured walking in to the event and finding things
would be a nightmare but The WBFF Team was at every single corner guiding
myself and the other competitors in the right direction, on stage for the show,
touching up our tans, you name it- the WBFF Team was there to make everything
run as smooth as possible in order to make our day stress free. I
must say this is something they executed extremely well in comparison to other
shows I have done.
At the athlete’s meeting I
remembered Paul & Allison really stressing they did not want any caddy
athletes’ and for everyone to be open and kind to one another. The WBFF ladies
and men were far from caddy. Downstairs all of us ladies helped each other out
from tans, hair, suits and even sharing treats. The conversations were pleasant
and most of us made friendships that will last a lifetime.
Disappointed I had not asked
Paul for his autograph while also too shy to ask, to my surprise I would be
walking away with his signature. I ended the night of the WBFF Quebec Championships
with my WBFF Pro Card in the Diva
Fitness Model category and but of course the famous Mr. Dillett’s
signature. The whole experience was mind blowing being surrounded by so
many great people and even meeting some great pro's themselves such as
Michelle Price, Sara Solomon, Andrea Smith, Amer The Hammer and the list
goes on.
Words to describe
the WBFF and
their shows are professional, organized, extravagant, real and like no
other. The WBFF really is not like any other organization and I can say
this from personal experience it really is the Best of the Best. If your
looking for an organization that is real, will promote and reward you
either amateur or pro, give you tones of exposure opportunities as well
as sponsorships than this is the organization for you. Make that
commitment to the WBFF and sign up for a WBFF Show at www.wbffshows.com,
you won't regret it.
I
will be continuing my fitness journey to the WBFF Worlds Stage as I
make my debut on the Pro Stage in Mississauga, ON in August at the Arts
Living Center. I gave 110% in my last show and I can promiise I will be
pushing ten times harder knowing I will be standing beside some of the
fiercest women in the fitness industry. It is all or nothing, no pain no
gain, the best of the best, THE WBFF! Are you Ready? I AM!!!!
Your newest and proud WBFF Pro Diva Fitness Model,
