Yumon Eaton Biography:
The History:
I have always been interested in sports, football especially. As a
child I was always too small and fragile to play though. My mother
feared that I would get hurt. When I got into high school and I was able
to make a few decisions on my own, however, I decided to join the
football team. After my first year I was told by my coach that he would
be moving me from cornerback to running back. I knew that I would need
to gain some weight if I were to play running back at the varsity level,
since I only weighed about 115lbs. I tried eating and various weight
gaining plans, but nothing seemed to work. I have always had a very fast
metabolism, so eating alone wasn't going to get it. I knew what I needed
to do, so I turned to weight training.
The Present:
It seems that all of my hard work is finally paying off. I competed
in my first show (Bodybuilding) a couple of months ago and did really
well.
I placed first in my weight class and first overall. I was also awarded
Bodybuilding.com's best teen bodybuilder of the year for 2006.
The Future:
As of now, it seems that my future in this sport (Bodybuilding) will
be very promising. I plan on competing in both bodybuilding and power
lifting in the years to come.
Competitions:
NPC South Florida Championships: 1st lightweight & 1st overall (teen
division) Florida State University Bench Press Championships: 1st (179
lbs class)
