"Ali said he hated every minute of training, but he said: Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion. Can you find something in this airport that shows why he believed that?"


If you'd like, I can also give you a 3-minute "Ali story you can tell teens while walking to the gate" that makes them see him not just as a boxer but as a very interesting human story.
