"I've heard police work is dangerous."
"It is. That's why I carry a big gun."
---Frank Drebin
Most programs for any sort of activity need funding. Funding for programs would be simple and very effective. The only problem is the popularity of exercise or training, is lacking, unlike many other European and Asian countries. (Training is considered having a goal or an end result from lifting). A great example of this is Olympic weightlifting. The number of registered weightlifters in China alone is in the millions as in the U.S. it is only in the tens of thousands. Most of these lifters are teenagers, some children. There is a huge emphasis on exercising and weightlifting in China. (USA Today.)
In America there is no benefits from lifting weights. There are no scholarships for power-lifting and Olympic lifting. So it is no surprise that every other country besides America does great in that category of the Olympics.
Don’t try to disagree with that statement because Kenya beat out the Americans recently. That’s right. Kenya.
Funding is crucial to the popularity of many sports. The more funding means the more demand for that particular sport.
