"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius — and a lot of courage — to move in the opposite direction." — Albert Einstein

This quote really resonates with me when it comes to simplifying concepts. I often find athletes can get too lost in the technical details too early in the game.

For a novice weightlifter, my goal is to establish a fundamental understanding for the rhythm of weightlifting and leave the more colorful details of technical nuances for a little later down the line.

Do you perform your best in practice or does the fire come out during competition?

Being in the heightened state of competition gives you an extra boost of adrenaline. The way you harness that energy will determine if you’re the type to make PRs at meets or if the PRs only come when you’re in the comfort of your own platform.

Yes, I tried not to, but I totally fan-girled Tommy Kono at the TK Open - VIII last weekend at the meet.

For those of you who do not know this man, check out www.tommykono.com and learn the history that is legend.

Tommy Kono, now 83, still travels from Hawaii to the mainland once a year to host this event and then holds a clinic the day after.
