Fredericia Brant follows her dreams

July 16, 2008 By Isaac Hinds 2 Comments

Hailing out of Boynton Beach, Florida, Fredericia (Freddi) Brant has her sights set on this weekend’s competition. Freddi will be traveling to Pittsburgh to compete in the Master’s Figure Nationals contest. She’s looking for nothing less than the overall title this time around. I caught up with Freddi days before the show.

What do you do in Florida besides workout?
I have a Law Degree and used that degree to go into and own various businesses. I have a business selling Medical Equipment called Brant Mohawk, LLC. Because I am 50% American Indian and a woman I focus on government contracts. I am also working on a program starting in the New Year called “The Champion in Me” that will help others achieve their success with a mind, body, spirit transformation. My fiance and I just opened a tanning salon in Boynton Beach called, “The Boca Tanning Club”.

Oh is that all? LOL. That’s awesome.

How did you get your start in figure competitions?
I went through a divorce and moved from Ohio to Florida and wanted to focus on something that was not relationship oriented that would take up my extra time and focus. I started working out at the local gym, in Boynton Beach and found a trainer and a diet coach. I picked a date that would give me about 5 months to prepare and turned up the heat. I won the overall in November of 2005, at my very first show, called the All South. What a thrill!

How many NPC shows have you competed in?
Since that time, I have been in 6 NPC shows, excluding my first show. I placed as well as top five in the North American in 06 and last year placed a disappointing 9th, at the North American. I felt that I needed to change my physique and my posing, I knew I could do better. What I needed was a coach and someone who could help me pose. I approached Paola Almerico and Kim Oddo who have both changed my entire look. Kim Oddo is my coach and Paola has been so helpful in showing me how to show my body on stage. I can’t wait to show my new look in Pittsburgh.

What is your goal for Masters Figure Nationals?
I have only one goal for the Masters Nationals…to follow my dream and win the overall.

What advice do you have to other women who think they are too old to compete?
You can never put an age limit on goals and dreams! A woman who is older and worried about competing should not defeat herself in her own mind. She should be realistic in her goals, set her mind to be a champion, train smart and go for it!

Thanks Freddie and all the best this weekend at the show.

Freddi is all smiles heading into this weekend’s competition.
