In Connecticut, IPL newcomer Nichole Mandanici earned the 1st place win and Pro Card in Bikini Open. Then hopped into the Pro class for her Pro Debut and took the win, earning her first IPL Pro title.
Every SETBACK has a COMEBACK. And this cover represents just that, which truly runs deep in my veins! The dedication, struggles, pain, joy, discipline, and mindset during this prep was my hardest. You can OVERCOME anything and HEAL! Tables shift when you discover your WORTH. I’m honored and blessed to be an IPL Pro Athlete and part of an INCREDIBLE federation with AMAZING like-minded athletes. This was also God’s grace, and I am thankful for it all.
