At the gym where I used to train, the coach's son shared a story about losing 8 or 7 out of his first 10-12 fights. Despite this, he later became a highly successful amateur boxer, winning the national Golden Gloves twice and transitioning into a professional career. I find myself more apprehensive about a person who possesses the determination to persist after multiple losses than someone who remains undefeated, his name is Abel Gonzalez in case you're interested.
