Phil Heath does it again ... 4th-in-raw title.


The personal life of a champ, a business person, a leader, or any successful person should not stand in the way of achieving more and gaining more ground. This last weekend Phil Heath scored his fourth in raw Mr. Olympia title. Congratulations Mr. Heath. You deserve it.

The personal part of the story that makes his winning this year more valuable than the past 3 is what makes a difference between a champ and a weakling (like myself :-)).

Mr. Heath lost his father earlier this year. If you remember his words in the press conference prior to Mr. Olympia competition in 2013 he mentioned that he is determined to win and dedicated his title to his father who's fighting cancer. Well ... he did his part and fate had another say on this battle while Phil was preparing for this year's competition.

Grief is something that you can use as a fuel for more achievement, or you can let kill your dreams. It's up to you really. Whether you think you're strong enough to keep going or too weak to take another step, you're right in both cases.

By looking at Phil's achievement this year you can easily tell which one is he. How about you?

Congratulations again to Phil Heath, and I am sure your late father is really proud of you right now. I wish I could say the same about my late father.

One more thing on this issue. During the press conference before Mr. Olympia 2014, and on the stage you can tell how Phil heath was raised by the father he is dedicating his title to. This is how a champ should be. Strong, and modest.
