My grandfather was my first coach. He taught me the basics, the fundamentals of judo. He was the start of this amazing journey, and I want to thank him for that.
Jack Yonezuka: Family Legacy
Yoshisada Yonezuka
Two-time U.S. Olympic judo team coach
My father made me the man I am, and in return, I'm a good judoka on top of it.
Him being my dad and my coach, I know he wants the best for me as an athlete. He's going to do everything he can to help me get where I want to be.
I'm the first one in my family to compete at the Olympic Games. Becoming a two-time Olympian and winning an Olympic medal would mean so much to me.
