Episode 24: Terrence Lasker

Terrence Lasker was one of your run-of-the-mill teenagers who wanted a job working with computers someday. When a Magnet high school opened in Kansas City, he jumped at the chance to study in their state-of-the-art computer science program. What he didn't expect was turning that passion into a lifelong love of fencing. After being wooed by the promise of travel to international competitions and thanks to their focus on Olympic sports, Terrence learned from one of the greatest Sabre coaches of all time: Vladimir Nazlymov. Under Nazlymov's guidance and with the help of teammates such as Jeremy Summers, Terrence became a 5-time national champion, 4-time member of the U.S. National Team and was first alternate for the U.S. Olympic Fencing Team in 1996. He was the assistant fencing coach at Ohio State from 2003-2008 and has been coaching at Nellya Fencers since 2008. Tune in today to hear the amazing story of a normal, nerdy teenager who became one of Sabre fencing's top athletes and coaches.
