Jaydon Goddard To Compete In NPC In Florida
[Written by Stephen Wright]
Jaydon Goddard has vowed to “own the stage” when he competes at the NPC Amateur Olympia in Orlando, Florida, tomorrow [November 1].
Goddard must finish in the overall top three in the men’s physique to win a coveted pro card, which will enable him to compete at professional shows for cash prizes.
He heads to the event in fine form after claiming three category titles at the recent Worldwide Royal Grand Prix Bermuda Regional at the Ruth Seaton James Centre.
“I’m excited and feel I’m in a good place right now,” Goddard told Bernews.
“I’ll present the best I have, own the stage, and look to grab the judges’ attention.
“I’ve been trying to come in tighter than my last event but still keep my size. There’s a science to it!”
The 25-year-old, who trains under Muhsin Nasir at Beast Gym in Hamilton, is also scheduled to compete at the NPC Worldwide Caribbean Grand Prix Bahamas Pro Qualifier in Nassau on November 11.
“I’d like to do that one as I won free entry to it by winning the overall title at the Bermuda Grand Prix, and I’ve never been to the Bahamas,” said Goddard, who has competed in six shows since taking up the sport three-and-a-half years ago.
“It all depends on how this competition goes. If I turn pro, I don’t think I’ll be able to compete in the Bahamas.”
Goddard has previously tasted success on the road, finishing second in the men’s physique at the NPC Worldwide Caribbean Summer Classic in Santo Domingo, the Dominican Republic, in August.
