2014 Sochi Winter Olympic Games

The Sochi 2014 Winter Olympic Games is only months ahead of us, and potential competitors are using MAKEACHAMP to fund their way. As we all know, the costs incurred by these Olympic hopefuls are tremendous, but MAKEACHAMP is here to equip them with the funds and motivation they need. When you are supporting an athlete who is hoping to compete at the Olympics, you are experiencing the challenges, determination, excitement and hopefully, successes too. Take an active role by supporting the athletes of your desire and join them in their journey of glory.

David Garmo

This week we are sitting in with David Garmo a BJJ practitioner from Michigan, USA. He has created a MAKEACHAMP campaign which reached 100% of its goal which allowed him to get a 2nd place at the 2013 Pan-America no gi championships in New York. This interview highlights his successes and struggles in and out of competition. We talk about struggling with injuries and how mental preparation is essential to success. Lastly, we also talk about the lack of funding for BJJ athletes and how MAKEACHAMP can help.
