Andre Ward: path to the gold medal and Super 6 Tournament
This short
video gives some insight to the type of dedication Andre Ward has to the sport
of boxing. Its no coincidence that he
won the Olympic gold medal in boxing, the young man prepared 9 years in
advanced for the Olympic games. If you
have read the book Outliers, the author describes how it takes a minimum of 10
thousand hours of practice or roughly 10 years to be an expert at
anything. Andre Ward has put in his
hours and is primed to take on all challengers in the 168 pound Super 6
Tournament. Keep an eye out for him.
