The Road to Gold

Winning at this level takes more than skill; it takes preparation, mental toughness, and the ability to adjust in the moment. I had to make weight before every fight, adding another layer of discipline before even stepping into the ring. Once the fights began, I quickly realized I wasn’t going to breeze through—I had to level up after every fight. Each opponent brought something different to the table, forcing me to adapt, strategize, and push past my limits. But when the final round ended, my hand was raised, and I had officially secured my spot on Team USA.

A Win for the Brand

This victory isn’t just about me—it’s a huge step for Bbpmasterpiece. Competing on a national stage puts more eyes on the brand, allowing me to represent it in the most authentic way possible. For me, Bbpmasterpiece isn’t just clothing; it’s a mindset, a commitment to constant growth and pushing past limits. Winning gold while wearing the brand is proof of that vision in action.

Stronger Together

I didn’t do this alone. I had an amazing team behind me, supporting and pushing me every step of the way. And I wasn’t the only one who walked away with gold—five of my teammates became national champions as well. We also met fighters who shared the same hunger and dedication, making this trip about more than just competition. It strengthened our bond and made us more than just teammates—we became family.

The Next Challenge: World Championships

With this win, I’ve been invited to compete at the World Championships at the end of the year—another chance to test myself against the best in the world. But no matter what’s ahead, I know one thing for sure: I’m not the same fighter who stepped into the ring at Nationals. I leveled up, and I’m ready for whatever comes next.
