“The supplements will last me till the national championships and I aim to perform well using the national titles as a launchpad for other bigger competitions in the region,” Mr Miro said.
Miro, who is an Executive Sales Officer with the company, said he is not only proud of his employer, but also grateful to the company who has assisted other sportsmen and women with such sponsorship support in the past.
And as a young person who also advocates for unemployed youth, he hopes he can be a role model to others by showing discipline in training and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
“I encourage young people, especially those out of school and employment, to take up a sport such a bodybuilding and improve their lives as sports can also provide other opportunities and lead to a better quality of life,” Miro said.
