So You Want to Be a Fighter: Profiles in Fortitude, Resilience & Acceptance-Inside and Outside the Ring by Chris Algieri EPUB



'I hated every minute of training, but I said: 'Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.' - Muhammad Ali



Behind every goal accomplished is a journey filled with confidence, success and admiration but also challenges, disappointments and moments of despair. But even when there are hardships, unseen struggles, dark times of indecision, injuries and financial problems, there are also moments of motivation, self-awareness and coping strategies to help you push through the negative to reach the positive.



Everyone has a story of success. Everyone has a story of failure or missed opportunities. So You Want to Be a Fighter? collects these kinds of stories in one place-told by well-known (and not-so-well-known) trainers, boxers and MMA fighters, including Chris Algieri, former junior welterweight boxing champion and undefeated kickboxer.



You'll hear about accomplishments, mishaps, tears of joy and pain, moments of utter frustration but also jubilation, and stories about what might have been if things had gone a little bit differently. If you've ever wondered what boxers and MMA fighters endure behind the scenes—maybe you yearn to join them?—this is the book that will bring you all the different aspects to competing in a fight sport.
