Winning a trophy is a great thing.
If you have been to one of my fitness events you know I always tell the contestants that their body is their trophy.
I say this because depending how you look at it. Entering a show could be a total let down for placing second instead of winning. It depends in how you explain how you did
when people ask how you placed. If you respond, "I got 2nd Place", many people turn that into a negative saying - You should have won!
Some people don't even place in the top ten and should still feel very proud of their accomplishment. You know how hard it is to stand on a stage in front of all those people and try to win a trophy for the way you look?
The end goal should be simply making it to the event and being able to stand on stage because out of all the people who workout very few can reach a fitness goal and heck they even struggle dropping a few pounds.
The reality is learning to get results with fitness is a huge win in itself.
So how do I feel winning a trophy for
Promoter of the Year?
It still feels great to be recognized! Honestly I was just happy that the people who attended were happy to be a part of it. We worked extremely hard on moving this show to a new venue and setting up the stage and lights the same way we did in a theater to recreate that in a huge ballroom.
I really have to Thank You for the
support.
To me it feels like it is more of "Event of the Year Award" because it wasn't just one person but due to your help and support along moving to the incredible venue Mohegan Sun.
We are going to give it our best again on April 9th 2016 and it's not about me trying to win a trophy but to make sure everyone is happy with the event. I produce one show a year because I want
to give it everything I possibly can and I want everyone to walk away saying it was the best experience they have had.
So, on April 9th and 10th we are going back to Mohegan Sun Resort Casino!
On Saturday April 9th will be the 18th Annual Fitness Atlantic and Sunday the Shaun T event is turning into "ShaunTervention" which means it is one of the largest live Shaun
T events in the world with more speakers and prizes and giveaways.
People have been going crazy asking to buy the Shaun T tickets because they know it always sells out and they will be going on sale very very soon. Just need the ticket pages approved by Shaun's team which could be next week.
As far as Fitness Atlantic we sold the event out a week in
advance and this really had a lot to do with the teams involved. I often talk about how important it is to have Trainers, Teams and Coaches who run workshops and camps to help people enter into a show like Fitness Atlantic. There are so many people that "could" enter a fitness show but just have no clue on where and how to start and the trainers have so much to do with the success of a show.
Having deadlines and trying to win
trophies is important and enjoying the process and knowing any results are positive means everyone wins.
Thank You,
Brian Cannone
I look forward to see you in April!
Thank you for this trophy as it belongs to all of us.
