My first draft of this page read something like an incredibly long fortune cookie, so here I am, back to edit it and try to keep it simple and real.
My goals are simple: I want to create the best training resource for any sport! I want people of all levels to be able to learn something in an environment free from politics and predjudices. I want athletes to be able to study the exact methods used by World Champions from around the world to obtain gold medals. I want this information to be simple and free.
That's my first set of goals. If KarateAthlete.com is successful and grows in power and wealth, I have a second wave of goals: First is to do whatever I can to help karate be included in the Olympic Games as soon as possible. Also, I want to have an athletic sponsorship program which helps talented athletes from around the world achieve their dreams. I want to raise awareness of the sport in the media by staging visually interesting events for televised viewing. Lastly, but by no means least important, I want to develop programs for children. Programs that will draw them into karate at a young age and keep them interested.
There, that should be enough to keep me busy for awhile...
The measure of what we will ultimately be able to achieve beyond just giving athletes an incredible training resource, will largely depend on you (visitors), sponsors, and the overall success of the site.
