Nicole Ball Announces On Sports After Dark Her Return To Defend Her Title At The 2009 IFBB Tampa Pro!
Thursday, May 21, 2009 Play Now

In early May 2009 IFBB Professional Bodybuilder Nicole Ball decided to return to defend her title at the IFBB Tampa Pro. Her decision was not final until after her trainer Dave Palumbo agreed to support her in this endeavor.
Sports After Dark hosts Eryn Strickland and Allison Moyer primed Nicole Ball with questions that brought out poignant responses from an emotional champion. Nicole grew up in a town of a mere 47 residents and felt she reached the big city after moving to one with 500 residents.
Nicole shared how she grew up in a very sheltered and religious family wherein she was escorted everywhere by her three brothers. Nicole spread her wings and left the family nest at eighteen years of age, but was a vulnerable sort who quickly became involved with a more worldly man that spelled trouble for her. Her new boyfriend wanted, no required, that Nicole always look her best if they were to be seen together, which led to his pressuring her into a bulimic lifestyle that stuck with her even after she parted ways with the man that would later become a brother-in-law.
Nicole credits her love of her family more so than concern for herself that saved her after a bout with death and hospitalization due to bulimia. Although Nicole did not fear the harm to herself caused by the bulimia she no longer could stomach the hurt she was causing those that meant the most and who were closest to her. Bodybuilding has given Nicole a positive focus that has been a healthy change from those difficult times.
As for her 2009 competitive season Nicole plans to come in about three pounds lighter and tighter. In 2008 Nicole competed in Tampa at 127 lbs. and then at 132 lbs. at the Olympia where she was retaining 6-7lbs excess water due to a condition she has had since a child. She noted she will make the necessary adjustments in 2009 for the Tampa Pro, Europa, & Olympia! With the help of Palumbo’s diet Nicole stays at about 145 lbs in the off season.
Alli inquired as to the origins of Nicole’s exotic look that might have something to do with this Canadian’s Italian and English heritage. Eryn and Alli aren’t shy in their inquiries that resulted in a gem with Nicole sharing her recent Best Onstage Orgasm Award amongst a slew of male strippers. All in good fun, lol.
A further heart-wrenching story was revealed as Alli asked Nicole what the most memorable experience she has had in her career thus far. Nicole shared how her mother’s sister had moved to Canada eleven years ago, wherein Nicole’s father encouraged his wife and sister-in-law to take a vacation together. The ladies took off to Mexico that was ended terribly with the gang rape of Nicole’s mother that tore the family apart. “I was harsh with my mother for a while because she left me in this situation with my dad.” Then while training and competing with her boyfriend and dad by her side the three of them found themselves at the Olympia and upon stopping by her dad’s room, “I asked him if he wanted to go for coffee,” Nicole said. “Sure hun I’d love to,” her father said. “As I was about to go he said “oh just wait I’ve got to grab something,” Nicole said. “And my mom came out of the bathroom. That was the first time in nine years that they’d seen each other and talked. They arranged to meet there for me to be there with me for the Olympia experience. So my first Olympia was absolutely phenomenal. It gave me the most memories, but what I got to share it brought my family back together. And it was the sport that did it.”
