the judges want to see. Don’t be
a YouTube poser.”
Unless you have the exact
physique, attitude and
experience of the likes of
Angelica Teixiera, Shawn Rhoden,
Cydney Gillon or Flex Lewis you
might be wasting your time. Sure,
get inspired by these fabulous
champions, strive to achieve
their positions but your style is
dependant on your physique
and attitude. Develop your best
potential. Posing coaches and
seminars can help with that
aspect of your journey.
One of the many newcomers,
Jenny Day, who attended the
J & H Promotions seminar in
New Brunswick gained a lot of
confidence; “ The seminar was
great! It is an absolute must for
any newcomer to this sport! The
seminar touched on so many
different subjects and the wide
variety of guests made it that all
questions could be answered.
The posing at the end of the day
was really great!! The girls were so
helpful and made it so much fun!
I finished the day having gained
the confidence that I needed to
get up there and rock the stage!”
J & H put off an excellent
seminar, sold out at 95 people
and a wealth of knowledgable
presenters and guests. Heather
LeBlanc states; “Stage Ready
Seminars have been extremely
helpful and popular through
the years giving the athletes
a “hands-on” experience
with Posing giving them an
opportunity to ask questions
and acquire the knowledge
required to prepare and plan for
a show competition. After having
planned 34 seminars, more and
more athletes have participated
and there is always something
fun and innovative to learn.
We had 39 first-time competitors
at last month’s seminar and
it’s a great way to connect or
network with others sharing the
same passion and common goal.
Our seminars never disappoint
and numbers have increased
significantly and the shows have
evolved because of them.”
The shows have evolved,
interesting statement I think.
If every competitor posed
perfectly I feel the shows would
be so much better. I have seen
too many competitors with
absolutely rockin’ bodies step
on stage and completely blow
their presentations. They do
not show their exceptional
features properly, they do not
hide their defincies properly
and end up losing their placings
to a competitor who looks just
as good but was able to pose
properly. Can it happen, sure can.
Posing coaches and seminars can
and do help.
At the recent posing clinic in
Calgary presented by Paramount
Performance’s John Dirks there
were over 50 competitors gaining
the knowledge they require
to compete effectively on the
stages in Alberta this season.
CPA ambassadors and judges
wer in attendance to impart
their experience to the eager
competitors.
Posing clinic in Calgary February
23, great turnout for all classes and
fantastic presentation by Paramount
Performance.
95+ participants at the sold out seminar in Moncton. IFBB Pro’s, judges,
promoters and photographers made this an excellent presentation.
