"The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses - behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights"

About this Quote

This quote by Muhammad Ali talks to the importance of effort and dedication in order to accomplish success. He is saying that the battle is won or lost before it even begins, in the minutes when no one is watching. It remains in the fitness center, where the athlete puts in the hard work and commitment to end up being the very best they can be. It is on the roadway, where the professional athlete presses themselves to their limitations and beyond. It remains in these minutes, away from the general public eye, that the battle is won or lost. Just after all of this effort and dedication is done, can the athlete dance under the lights and show the world the results of their hard work. This quote speaks with the value of effort and devotion in order to accomplish success.
