motivating people you encounter

by: Brad Davis - June 29th, 2008
73Sometimes in life you come across people that motivate you and spark your competitive drive, well that person for me is Peter Putnum! I really don't know why but whenever i get the chance to talk with Peter i get this sense of motivation for bodybuilding again. Honestly the guy just inspires me for some odd reason that i really can't explain. Just sitting down and talking with that guy gives me a new drive with this whole bodybuilding thing, I do have a lil competitive drive towards peter, but mostly its just him motivating me to do bigger and better things in this sport. Peter thinks outside the box and looks at the bigger picture in this sport, something that a lot of athletes fail to do, and live for the moment in bodybuilding. I got a good chance to sit down for couple of chats with Peter Putnum in chicago during Jr. nationals weekend, in fact me and my workout partner had dinner with peter and jess. saturday night after the finals and me and peter ended up talking till like 1:00am in the morning. Knowing that i may have to stand on stage next to him also motivates me to diet like I have never dieted before for this upcoming nationals, as Peter is pretty much "expected" to take the light heavy class this November, but motivation is a powerfull thing, so don't be suprised if a lil darkhorse from Kentucky upsets a few people at this coming Nationals.

Wow, Brad...I called Peter in the room to read your blog.

He is truly humbled by what you wrote....and wanted me to tell you thank you so much for your kind words.He always enjoys getting to hang out with you. We hope you can make it to Knoxville to train closer to the show...I promise i won't try to sabotage you for the show...LOL!

I get annoyed with him and his "jokes"lol from time to time, but he is such a motivation to me also! He is my rock!

We are very blessed to have you as a friend. Keep training hard and you will be in my prayers.
