Manage episode 314946025 series 3292297
Leilani Akiyama's judo story is one of perseverence. Having begun judo in Japan, she has chased her dream of going to the Olympics through countless training camps, countries and dropped a weight division to give herself the best possible chance for Tokyo 2020.
This is part 1 of a two-part interview, and we cover the pros and cons of training in Japan, lessons learnt from spending time in wrestling, and why working hard is a trait that you have to practice.
