Ali in Pacquiao’s mind

IN 1998, Muhammad Ali told book author Lorne A. Adrian: “The most important thing I know about the spirit of sport is that one has to be fit both in body and mind. Whether it’s boxing, basketball, or badminton, one must be ready to succeed before entering the arena… long before the lights come up.”

I couldn’t agree more.

You first succeed in the mind before you succeed in the battlefield.

You need to have the “movie in your mind” before you embark on your dream.
