CANADIAN PHYSIQUE ALLIANCE DECEMBER ISSUE | Page 64

CONGRATULATIONS NOw that you have your ifbb pro card, you may or may not know what to do next... First of all, I want to start by congratulating and welcoming all the new IFBB Pro’s to the IFBB Pro League! If I’m not mistaken, 2018 has been a record year for the largest amount of Pro Cards awarded to Canadian competitors. The growth of our sport, the judging criteria, the calibre of athletes, the Pro Qualifier opportunities...the list goes on as to “WHY” 2018 is welcoming over 45 NEW CANADIAN IFBB PROS to the most prestigious organization in the world! Congratulations to all of you! “How do I compete at a Pro show?“   “What are the dates for the 2019 season” “How do I get my card”  These are just a few questions you may be asking. I am entering my 9th year as an IFBB PRO and an ambassador for our sport. I hope this information will help your transition from amateur to Pro be a little smoother. It is all pretty straight forward, but there are things I wish I knew when I turned Pro!   Around the end of October to December you will either receive an email or a letter in your mailbox from the IFBB Pro League. Last year we received it by email and in all previous years, we would receive a letter in the mail. Keep an eye out for one or the other between the end of October to December.
