Greg Everett
| February 5 2013 |
General
I just recently announced the documentary I've been quietly working on for the past couple years, American Weightlifting. This is a project I'm extremely excited about and can't wait to release. It will highlight the hard work and passion of lifters and coaches in the US and their struggle to compete internationally with lifters who are well-funded and well-supported, and recognized and appreciated by the public.

A New Year At Catalyst Athletics
Greg Everett
| January 1 2013 |
General
I’m starting off 2013 sitting in my backyard with a cup of coffee enjoying the sun and a rare day off. I tend not to be a very publicly sentimental fellow, but I have to say 2012 was an incredible year and I’m more excited for 2013 than I have been for any other year previously. I don’t make New Year’s resolutions, but there is something undeniably meaningful about beginning a new phase of life each year that I won’t pretend doesn’t affect me.
This last yea......

Dumb Weightlifting Questions
Greg Everett
| October 17 2012 |
General
It was suggested to me by our talented editor Yael that I write an article about “dumb” weightlifting questions. I turned to the internet’s leading repositories of dumb questions—Facebook and Twitter—for some ideas. The following are some of the better ones you provided me. She told me my answers were obnoxious and unhelpful so I'll be doing a real version in the Performance Menu next month, but I figured these shouldn't go to waste. Please note that none of these a......

Jonah Lehrer And Imagine
Greg Everett
| August 9 2012 |
General
From Performance Menu editor Yael Grauer:
In the May 2012 issue of the Performance Menu (issue #88), we published a piece titled Where Creativity and Sport Intersect: A Conversation With Jonah Lehrer.
Since the piece was published, Lehrer has admitted in a statement that some of the quotations in his book, ‘Imagine,’ “either did not exist, were unintentional misquotations, or represented improper combinations of previously existing quotes.” He has since resigned his......

If you haven't watched it yet, you need to watch this video. Aimee and Jessica decided to continue the trend of making a "what someone says" video - I was a little worried about making another one of these videos, but these two are actually funny. Watch it here.......
