In this episode of The Atlas Podcast, I sit down with Bikini Olympia Champion Ariana Brothers to reflect on her post-Olympia thoughts and discuss what’s next in her competitive career. We dive into your questions, exploring topics like whether you should tell your coach if you’ve deviated from your plan, how to determine if you’re truly ready to compete, and when postponing a show might be the better option. Ariana and I highlight the importance of honesty in the coach-athlete relationship, explaining how withholding details—like untracked refeeds—can disrupt your prep and compromise your results.
We also address the challenges athletes face as they progress in the sport, sharing how we build trust with new clients and set clear expectations. Ariana offers a glimpse into her new posing business, emphasizing its value for competitors looking to refine their stage presence and stand out. This episode is packed with actionable insights on prep, peaking, and posing, providing an in-depth look at what it takes to thrive at the highest level. Don’t miss this honest and informative conversation with one of the sport’s elite athletes!
