“If you don’t have Secretariat heart, you can cultivate intention. You just need a big enough WHY to keep you on your grind. That sort of intention has teeth. Rappers call it hustle. I like that.”
Lux Alani, Punch Happy: There's No Crying in Boxing

“A champion is someone who gets up when he can’t.”—Jack Dempsey.”
Lux Alani, Punch Happy: There's No Crying in Boxing

“To box as a woman is to reconnect with your feminine power. It is to own your ferocity.”
Lux Alani, Punch Happy: There's No Crying in Boxing

This is the miracle that happens every time to those who really love: the more they give, the more they possess.”
Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
