“To really take yourself to the next level, you need to think about somehow you're inspiring other people.” —John Mark Nicolet

While bodybuilding and powerlifting share some similarities such as building strength and muscle mass, they differ in their training methods and ultimate goals. By striking the right balance between these two disciplines and incorporating strategies that support both goals, individuals can unlock their full potential and achieve their desired results. 

Therefore, committing to improvement and developing a winning mentality can make a difference in overcoming the unique challenges of pursuing multiple sports. A strong commitment fuels progress while a winning mentality sustains motivation and resilience. 

This week’s Sherrie sits with bodybuilder/powerlifter John Mark Nicolet. John Mark discusses how he got into bodybuilding from a young age with the encouragement of his father and his commitment to continual self-improvement. Sherrie and John also talked about balancing training and nutrition for the different goals of each sport, and the importance of intrinsic motivation in inspiring yourself and others.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
