I know it might not mean much, but I’ve been watching you for a few years now and you’ve helped me find my way out of depression. You always had a positive outlook, despite the difficulty. It made me look up stoicism, and get more involved with my church and community. It may not be an Olympia win. But to me it means the world, so thank you, Derek. Truly, thank you.

Winning the Olympia doesn't define a man as a "winner," showing up the way Derek has, in the face of adversity, is the definition of a winner's mentality...the gold is just the cherry on top. With saying that, Derek, you've tasted gold, your path will entail you to taste it again!

He’s training at 80%, this will ensure he doesn’t lose all those gains he trained hard for, bodybuilding is his livelihood, training takes up what 2 hours of his day? I’d say he still has ample time for family and rest. The champ knows what he’s doing, he came better this year but that wasn’t good enough in the judges eyes, 2025 he will come back even better and only god knows what result that earns him 🙏🏼
