WHERE YOUR BODY NEVER DARES TO ENTER. As a boy, I had the privilege of having the benefit of having the great Olympic weightlifting champion Tommy Kono as a coach at a small gym on Maui. Tommy taught three olympic lifts: Press, Clean and Jerk, Snatch. At the time, having only the goal of getting bigger, stronger and faster, I did not truly realize the athleticism and mental determination required to accomplish these lifts. That is, until Tommy challenged my resolve to beat my best lift in the Press. He gave me the scenario of a do or die final lift in the Olympics for a gold medal. Make the lift win the gold. The scenario became so real, I passed out pushing my new best lift over my head. The first face I remember seeing when I came to was Tommy. Martin, see how it works? When you want it bad enough your mind will take you where your body never dares to enter. - MDP
