Episode 66. Loyalty, Setbacks & Coming Back Stronger
The conversation
About Stephen Gallagher.
Stephen Gallagher sat down for Kumite Lifestyle. That conversation is episode 66, “Loyalty, Setbacks & Coming Back Stronger”.
Stephen is a karate athlete and instructor in Florida. He has trained under his sensei since he was three years old, has been competing since he was six, and had just turned 28 when the episode was recorded.
His sensei won AAU national championships ten years in a row and has three world titles, and Stephen calls him an even bigger role model than martial artist. The goal is for Stephen and a few others to help take over the dojo one day and keep his legacy alive.
Stephen talks about loyalty, taking it all in at big events because you already did the work to be there, and the losses that made him say he never wanted to feel that way again.
