Top 3 Movies:
1. Cinderella Man : "He was an underdog who fought against all odds, didn't give up, and succeeded in doing what most people felt was impossible."

Top 3 Movies:
1. The Pursuit of Happyness : "Will Smith's struggling and achieving is inspiring. I really like that movie."

3. Enchanted: "May not count as inspirational, but I really liked it! Funny, well-done, and different."
Trainer: Scott White 
Famous Clients: "If you have ever seen an NFL game, WNBA game, Olympic medal beach volleyball players, movie stars, and TV stars, then you have seen some of my clients."

Personal Resolution: "I set goals on a regular basis and keep track of them and adjust all year round. So I can't say that I am setting New Year's goals, because I'm constantly working on improving and growing as an individual each and every moment, and not just one day a year."

Top 3 Movies:
1. Super Size Me : "Education is very important to understanding what happens and how bad food can effect our bodies. People need to understand all of the harmful things they are doing to their bodies and how much further they put themselves from their goals by eating unhealthy foods."
2. Rocky "Who doesn't get hyped up seeing Sylvester Stallone come from behind, train hard, and overcome all odds to persevere? He's always about achieving his best, not letting anything get in his way, he's willing to fight for what he wants and really has a never say die attitude, and that is what everyone needs to achieve their goals."
3. 300 : " Inspiring because of the men's physiques, I mean, what man doesn't want to have a chiseled, muscular body like those guys? The Spartans were dedicated to being the best and fiercest warriors, fighting to the death before surrendering, beating all odds. We should all aspire to this kind of dedication and commitment."
