Fit physique builds a leader

JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS, Va. — As the burn sets in after each rep and the hunger from losing weight attempts to occupy his mind, the legendary words of Muhamad Ali echoed in his head “impossible is nothing.” That mantra is what U.S. Air Force 1st Lt. James LaCoste, 633rd Force Support Squadron career development chief, used to stay level-headed during the Organization of Competition Bodies' Colonial Open bodybuilding competition at the Williamsburg Crosswalk Church, July 1, 2017. This was the first ever body building competition for LaCoste, who placed third with no professional trainer or coach.
