The story starts at his slump as a student gymnast. In the hardship, he identifies his mental weakness as the cause. This is why he starts looking at mental training. Few years later, he begins his teaching career and introduces human psychology into those methods for his coaching. He finally experiences the Eastern wisdom and incorporates it into his program.
