Ten years ago, I was in Sydney, Australia, trying to get a job as a strength and conditioning coach at the Lift Performance Center, where weightlifters and powerlifters trained. The owner turned me down.
So did 50 other sports clubs in Sydney.
Now I am in Bulgaria, working as the strength and conditioning coach for the Olympic and world champion, and world record holder in the snatch, clean and jerk, and total — Karlos Nasar.
The Lift Performance Center in Sydney no longer exists.
