Jimmy Pedro

American 4 time Olympian, double Olympic medallist, World Champion, Olympic winning coach Jimmy Pedro made the journey to Scotland to share his coaching style, techniques and phycology with us in seminars held in Aberdeen and Edinburgh.

This was one seminar I was so looking ofrward to.Jimmy Pedro was a name I was broiught up with, winning the WOrld cahmpionships in Birmingham 1999, the same year as Scotland's  Graeme Randall and a regular in Olympic Judo, Jimmy's style and mental belief in his Judo is something I had always admired. more recently, this became evident through the success of his players like Kayla HArrison, MArti MAlloy, Ronda ROussey, Travis Stevens and many many more.

Having picked up a bad bug in Astana just 2 weeks before visiting us, it was touch and go to whether he would be well enough to travel and hold the seminars. In fact he was discharged from hospital just 1.5 days before flying to UK.

Full hall of fame
