Winning all the shows in my 20's I got Lazy with my diet - The John Meadows Story Part 2

In my 20’s I was winning all the shows i did. I was training very hard but i started to get lazy with my diet. It was not until after the Ohio Grand Prix where i lost the overall by just 2 points that I got my wake up call. My coach at the time came up to me after the show and told me that i had not payed my dues. I got lazy on my diet and should have won that show hands down. That was a turning point for me and I have never cheated on my diet since.
