The Core Values of Conqueror Weightlifting are Effort, Attitude, Trust and Respect.
Each month, we recognize one of our athletes who excels in consistently demonstrating these Core Values. Our August 2024 Athlete of Month is John Konyek.
John is an 9-year-old multi-sport athlete who plays football and wrestles in addition to being a dynamite young weightlifter. Just last month, he qualified to compete in the 2025 National Youth Weightlifting Championships.
Despite his young age, John is very mature and focused when it comes to training. He follows instructions extremely well and is careful to complete every detail of the training program to the best of his ability.
Equally important is his outstanding work ethic. John attends every training session with the intention of improving and devotes his full effort to accomplishing this goal. His diligent training habits have allowed him to develop excellent technique that will serve him well for long term success.
John is an up-and-coming young athlete with a bright future ahead. His outstanding attitude and work ethic will help him succeed in any challenge he takes on down the road. Congratulations to John on his selection as our Athlete of the Month!
