TRISHA GREEN; Your Time Will Come, Reset for Success, Protect Your Environment

In today’s episode, Celeste interviews Trisha Green, who works as a personal trainer and began her competition journey in 2015 completing 6 regional shows and 6 national shows before earning her pro card at USA’s in 2020.

After discussing some pre-stage rituals, Celeste and Trisha explore the various ways Trisha’s mindset towards prepping and competing have changed over the past six years.  Trisha goes on to explain her path towards the stage, beginning with starting out as a personal trainer at a local gym.  Once she made it through her first prep and stepped on stage for the first time, Trisha was “hooked” on competing and created a lifestyle that allows her to pursue her dreams with a strong support system.  

Trisha shares many insights into her competition prep, one most notably being her post-show feedback from head judge Sandy Williamson.  She goes into details about the areas of her physique that need improvement, as well as some of the ways she plans on improving her package and coming back better for her rookie season. 

Trisha openly shares about her two year unexpected hiatus from competing, and describes some of the challenges she endured during this time.  Ultimately, she enlightens us on how her mindset adapted this time, and how she has used her lessons learned into the prep that allowed her to earn her pro card. 

Throughout the interview, Celeste and Trisha continuously talk about the importance of having a strong foundation of support to succeed in both life and competing.  They also discuss the significance of being willing to “reset” throughout a season of prep or life.  No matter the setbacks, Trisha talks about the importance of loving the process more than the final result or destination.  Also mentioned is the value in taking your time; not rushing the process or results we often so quickly wish to attain.  

As the interview comes to a close, Trisha shares her best advice for a competitor who has never competed before but has a desire; as well as her best advice for a competitor on her road to earning a pro card!
