COACH Personal Training Aust.

… takes a breath *

Ten years. Twenty competitions. Two Pro Cards. Six professional victories. Track record “check!”

What a year it’s been for Sammy! From winning on the IFBB stage earlier this year to finishing her competitive career at the Ms Fitness Australia Pro Show, taking out both the Figure Classique and Figure Open titles in convincing fashion.

I couldn’t have asked for a better ending to such an extraordinary chapter.

Beyond the trophies and titles, I’ve always admired Sam’s unwavering integrity as a natural athlete. In all my many, many .. many years of coaching, I’ve never worked with someone more disciplined or more committed to staying true to their values, and that’s is saying a lot with the caliber of athlete’s through Coach. Not once has she wavered, compromised her principles or looked for shortcuts. That level of conviction is something incredibly special, and something I respect enormously.

Of course, ten years together hasn’t been all serious business! We’ve shared plenty of laughs, a few tears, some questionable conversations and enough stories to keep us entertained for another decade. Some.. most of them are probably best kept between us!

Sam, coaching you has been an absolute privilege, but becoming your lifelong friend has meant even more.

Your retirement post genuinely touched me, and I’m so grateful for the trust, friendship and memories we’ve shared. I’m incredibly proud of everything we’ve achieved, but even prouder of the person you’ve become as a result.

And just remember, retiring from bodybuilding doesn’t mean you’re getting rid of me. I’ve sent you your macros and I know where you live. I’ve stayed at your house!

Thank you for allowing me to be part of this journey. You’ve achieved everything on your own terms, with your integrity intact, and there’s nothing more rewarding than that.

TDS. ❤️
