According to his manager and partner Sophie Hassan, Pillay’s discipline has improved significantly in the lead-up to the event.
“He’s been more open with new ideas with his coach and everything. I’ve been able to see him really progress not just in muscle development wise but mentally and being able to prepare himself more for the show and what to expect. He’s learnt a lot and his come far and I’m very proud he’s able to reach this far.”
FMF has sponsored Pillay’s trip, allowing him to compete in this tournament and put Fiji on the map in the world of bodybuilding.
