Didn’t have time to ask, but I”m interested in what the USJA would think about the current Olympic Trials, and how they would change them? Also, would they support a true National Championship and regional qualifiers? Thanks to AnnMaria and Jim Pedro, Sr. for the interview!
This is really informative. Even as the COO of the USJA I learned some new things from this discussion…thanks.
Good Lord, this is the first podcast that I’ve listened to. I had to stop early and give up. If I want to listen to an infomercial i’ll stay up until 3 am. I’ve been a USJA member for 15 years but this is just a waste of my time.
I didn’t know that financial mismanagement, declining numbers of people in judo,failures on the international stage, forgery and sexual assault were common topics in infomercials. Maybe I will watch one or two and check them out.
There is no secret why Jim Pedro has been the most succesful coach in the US for the last two decades. And Czolek, you are as clueless as they come.
