“As this was my first time competing, I had no idea what to expect. For me, the training was the easy part.
From a young age, I had a passion for health and fitness. Playing sports all year round was my life until a few years ago. Yet another injury on the sports field meant It was time to hang up the boots, which is when I found a deeper passion for the gym and pushed myself to new limits.
But I knew standing up on that stage would be one of the most terrifying things I’ve ever done.
With the support of an amazing team and partner who competed alongside me. I was able to achieve my goal and step outside my comfort zone.
YNF captured my attention during their very first show. The family, the culture and the support were world-class; without this, I would have never considered stepping on stage.
Becoming an elite athlete was an achievement that I thought was impossible. I always looked up to the original elites, thinking that I was in no way capable. But it showed me that anything is possible with hard work and sacrifice.” – Jamie Allan
