Winners Are Simply Willing to Do What Losers Won't

"There's no such thing as a 'natural'. A 'natural' dancer has to practice hard. A 'natural' painter has to paint all the time, even a 'natural' fool has to work at it. I had the God-given equipment to be a professional fighter, but I had to train at it, and train damn hard."
-Joe Louis, "The Brown Bomber"

I will watch some of the sappiest and cheesiest movies (Center Stage, Blue Crush, Bend it like Beckham) just to get motivated by the training scenes. However, my all time favorite tough girl film is Academy Award winning Million Dollar Baby. (I'm also a huge fan of the book it's based on- "Rope Burns" by F.X. Toole). Check out these great training scenes from Million Dollar Baby.

Go get it ladies! Train hard!
