Patrick Raquet aka P Diesel
Obviously with the group of guys above its not an easy choice, however it was a choice that I had already made before I even saw the list. When I competed in my first competition he happened to be there as a spectator, and at the time I had no idea who he was because I really didn't know much about powerlifting at the time. I was having a pretty rough day as far as the competition was concerned and my nerves were really kicking in, but after I hit my opening deadlift P Diesel came up to me and complimented my form and helped me plan out my last two attempts. It may not seem like a lot, but to a 19yo competing for the first time it really meant a lot to have someone who is a professional complement me on something I was doing well. I learned a lot from him in the 5-10 minutes that I talked to him, and it made a big impression on how I now personally approach powerlifting. I figure if I learned so much in 10 mins, there is so much I could learn from him in an extended time period. Hence the reason's stated above are why I choose P Diesel! Thanks guys!
