I try to post at least two new blogs a week, so keep on checking back. My life is currently full of drama...lol...so it's doubtful I'll run out of anything to write anytime soon. :)]]> Comment on Christine Wan - premier blogger tag:asianfitnessblog.com,2008-04-25:1000282 Afitnessconnection http://Afitnessconnection.com 2008-04-25T19:07:11Z 2008-04-25T17:45:16Z Comment on Newcomer Natalie Minh needs your vote tag:asianfitnessblog.com,2008-04-17:976544 Natalie Minh http://www.myspace.com/motownnat 2008-04-17T20:32:35Z 2008-04-17T12:34:58Z

Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!  I forwarded your question to Mo (who is pressed for time right now), and she responded:

"I don’t think there a certain personality type that is attracted to fitness competitions. Both introverted and extroverted athletes compete in this industry, although the underlying commonality is the determination and drive-- despite the disappointing placements in past competitions. We all have the competitive drive."

And, I have to agree with her.  Not many people understand the type of drive and commitment required to be a top athlete in any sport.  Many of the women in figure and fitness have "day jobs" in addition to their commitments to fitness.  Competing provides relatively little financial reward, so it really does boil down to a drive to compete and reach a personal best. 

I can't speak for Mo, but I am sure on of the biggest opponents is oneself, meaning-- developing the personal habits and discipline to be successful.

Anyone else have any comments or questions?
