Move On – Let go. After a short amount of time,
you will need to move forward. You can’t reach
Moving Past a Missed Opportunity in
a Competition
your potential as a bodybuilder if you carry that
negative baggage forever.
Learn – Identify what you can learn from the
experience to improve your game in the future.
Don’t allow one moment define your role in
bodybuilding... You are more than that!
Move forward by listing all the things
that helped you get to where you
are... all the sweat, all the sacrifice, all
the extra hours, all the successes, etc.
Defining yourself in broader terms
will help you develop the mental
toughness needed to succeed in the
future. And always remember that
bodybuilding, like any sport, is what
you do, not who you are. You are a
bodybuilder but you are more than
just that. Being a bodybuilder is part
of your identity of which you can be
proud but also embrace the other
qualities that make you the unique
individual you are!
