She even understood what more she needed to do, and said, “It’s not just what you have, it’s how you display it on stage.” She was totally aware of her new approach this year. She even added, “This year I intentionally tried to present a little softer, and that was a mistake. The mistake started by me listening to the opinions of others leading up to the show of what Women’s Physique ‘should look like,”‘ and what Sarah ‘should bring to stage.’
