Nadine's Success Story:

Just over a year ago I decided to enter in my first amateur figure competition here in
Grand Cayman and around that time I had been in contact with Trina about coming down
to visit me and had mentioned to her that I wanted to compete. Right away she was all
for it and was willing to help me out as much as she could - even being many miles away!

She took the time out of her schedule to talk to me almost everyday online and then
made a trip down to see me and check out some job opportunities. While she was down
here she coached me through a training schedule, set me up on a diet and taught me
all the ins and outs from what to wear on stage and how to present myself. She gave
me so much support and boosted my self confidence about the competition throughout
the whole 4 months and anytime I had a question or needed her to take a look at my
pictures or to alter my diet or make suggestions; she was there.

Trina moved to the island 2 days before my competition and even though she was
making such a huge change to her own life, she walked off that plane, and I will
never forget what she said to me that night, she said "The next 2 days are all
about you girl". That was probably the best thing I could have ever heard at
that moment and if anyone knows what the last couple days are like before a
competition you know how much it means when someone is there for you.

I competed June 3, 2006 in the Caribbean Grand Prix Amateur Figure and out of 7
competitors I placed 3rd and couldn't have been happier! I know for a fact that
there is no way I could have gone through with that competition without Trina's
help and support.

Now, one year later here I am again and competed this year in the same competition
and this year I placed 1st and won my pro card. This past year of training, Trina
has been able to oversee everything I have done, altered my diet when needed and
changed up my training to get me ready for that show. I made some incredible
gains physically and mentally over the past year with Trina's help and support
and know for a fact I could not have done it without her help.

Trina... I hope you know how much you have changed my life - the way I look at myself,
I now hold my head up high and know that whatever I put my mind to I can do it.
I admire your strength, your determination and your confidence.

Thank you so much and I am looking forward to seeing what training will bring in the next year!!
