6.1 LEILANI AKIYAMA (USA 57kg) Working hard is a trait you have to practice, part 1

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.
