In every sport there is a physical and mental developmental process that each athlete must go through. For some the physical aspect is easier while the mental takes time as they mature and develop a stronger understanding of the sport/position.

The game adapts, it’s no longer just reading what’s shown in front of you but it’s anticipating beyond what the defense is showing you, it’s no longer yo ..read more

I’ve been meaning to write about this for a while but it keeps escaping my mind. Comparing Olympic weightlifting competitions ran in 2007 to 2015, I believe the number of lifters and audience members have doubled, at least in the NYC surround area. This is great for our sport but this also brings a lot of unknowns. The last few weightlifting competitions we’ve been at there has been a lot of delays and day of changes. Preparing for the unknown and keeping a cool head is the main reason I wanted many of our lifters to compete and the reason for this post. So here are few tips that I’d sug ..read more
