Who are the most influential persons in your life? Except your parents offcourse.

My parents probably didnt have to much influence on me. I was rasied very losely and could do what the **** I wanted whenever I wanted.

So I would say the most influential person in my life is my wrestling coach. I only wrestled for 2 years but in those 2 years he turned me from a ****ing fat, wimpy pussy to a maschositic(sp?) bastard. He lit the flame in me that keeps me pushing hard in the gym every time. Whenever I feel like quiting I think of him and what he endured when prepping for the olympics in atlanta.

Other then him my 2 closest friend has alot to do with who I am today. They got me started training in the first place and turned me from geek to wannabee beefcake and they are also the only 2 friends that have stayed close during the last 7 years of my life. I just hope I can keep that friendship burning even though I now life 1300km away from them.

So lets hear it who has had the biggest influence on you and why?
