Olympian and 2023 World Champion Eli Dershwitz returns to First to 15 with a unicorn update: he’s bought the club where he trained for 17 years — Zeta Fencing outside Boston — and stepped in as owner and head coach. We talk about translating world-class saber into beginner-friendly training, partnering with parents, setting expectations around college recruiting, and what Paris and the most recent Olympic cycle taught him about leadership and leaving with no regrets. Eli also shares his club mantra (“EAT: Effort, Attitude, Toughness”), the gold medal he’d put in the lobby case, why stationary drills miss the mark in modern saber, and whether his own path includes a fourth Olympics.
