"To [John], arm wrestling is not a man versus man thing with him; arm wrestling is just a puzzle to solve, and the people he has to compete with are pieces he just has to move around." Quite the quote here, Engin.
Because the ego is not the self, not the reality; the ego will tell you to pull through an injury and make it worse, for example. It's destructive. It killed Samantha Spady, you could say, the college freshman who prided herself on her ability to hold liquor and got in a shot contest at a fraternity.
That last thing he said about John not having an ego and how armwrestling is a big puzzle and each match is another puzzle piece seems like a very good metaphor to me
All I can say is these so called older Armwrestlers are making the sport very exciting to me. They are inspiring the competition and Hopefully some more young boys and girls to become future CHAMPIONS in whatever they may be interested in doing.(ARMWRESTLING).
Good series. I didn't know Todd moved to Utah and trained with John for years, and then they went on a world tour. John to the Bulgarians, "Don't worry about my friend Todd here; he does archery and just started armwrestling a couple of years a go; take it easy on him...." hehe

One of the best I've heard about John :)
A true master will always realize the ego stands in the way of true greatness.
