Episode 5: “21 Weeks, 3 Minutes, 1 Dream”
Having been doubted for much of his career, Clarida took that negative energy and turned it into something positive, motivating him to continue to push himself each and every day. Getting to the finals was a proud moment and he knew he had to knock out the other champions in the event for his dream to come true. His 2019 finish forced him to really step things up and change his approach mentally, physically, and spiritually to be his best.
After weeks and months of training for just a few minutes on stage, Clarida is willing to train as hard as he does for the feeling of knowing just how hard he’s worked for this moment. The last few days were taken hour by hour as the pressure began to mount and friends and family worked their schedule around Shaun to be as supportive as possible. It is all business for him. He and his girlfriend do everything together and although she isn’t up on stage with him, she feels as though she is, competing with him and going through the same hardships. And still, she wouldn’t change any of it. That support helped Clarida bring home the title.
When Shaun began looking for a coach, he ultimately found the right one and was willing to do everything he could to prove everyone he was the best. His first show when he weighed 118 pounds was nothing compared to what he is now, but that sparked a fire in him to push his limits. Now, 16 years later, his dedication and discipline has paid off and he is your 2020 Olympia Men’s 212 Champ.
