She's not on your list, but my first rowing coach (whom I met when I was 46, BTW). I've gotten a bit of good from all those guys, other than Arnold, but it's all ridiculously trivial compared to what I got from Coach Evil (a fond nickname, truly). Without her, I might not even be alive now . . . and I'm being honest and literal.

Arnold.

.... and Greg LeMond

My Nana. She was an athlete when girls weren't encouraged to be. She was crazy competitive. She never, ever gave up. She was one tough, tiny lady and taught me you can do anything if you keep a positive attitude

Oh and the incomparable Richard Simmons of course.

Arnold, Leroy Colbert, Frank Zane, Kai Green, Scooby, CT Fletcher, Mike Rashid, Bruce Lee, Ido Portal, Conor McGregor. I think that's all of them. What a line up.

I am my own inspiration/idol! Many people dislike themselves, so I believe that it's imperative to like oneself this much! Meaning that if you aren't whom you desire to be, 1st figure what's plausible for you to reasonably be & 2nd pursue it! We're too unique to be carbon copies, of anyone else! Be proud, to be yourself & of what you're able to accomplish within your own abilities, by knowing them & then setting realistic/achievable goals that align with them, so that you'll never be a disappointment to yourself!
