The High Performance Podcast

NOTE

Following Dreams Against All Odds

The speaker recounts the daunting thought of leaving their country for a visa application, with the only alternative being to navigate and immigrate to North Africa to reach Europe in pursuit of a chance to eventually settle in America. The sole reason for leaving their country was to find opportunities for boxing, and it was a scary prospect to live without knowing where they were going or if they would ever return. Despite the doubts and fears, the speaker persisted in pursuing their dream. They grappled with the idea of settling down versus following their dreams, and the uncertainty of being gone for years or potentially never being heard of again. Ultimately, the speaker prefers to have a life without dreams rather than a dream without life, leading to internal debates about their decisions.
