Today I speak with IFBB Pro Viviana Salazar, a former soccer player from Mexico who moved to the US a year ago to live her dream of being a pro athlete.She has only been competing for a year, but has been training hard her whole life as an athlete who attended IMG Academy school in Florida for soccer. Her first show was the 2022 Patriots Challenge where she got nationally qualified, She then did USAs getting first call outs but no pro card. After getting second callouts at Nationals, she felt discouraged and struggled mentally. But she came back was stronger and earned her Pro Card at 2023 Junior Nationals.
