The odds may be stacked against you, but what the odds don't know is that this isn't a math test. Passion, has a funny way of trumping logic.

It's about heart, it's about who goes out there and play the hardest, it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward.

In any fight, it's the guy who's willing to die, willing to take the hits, that is going to take the edge.

The moment we step into the court, statistics don't matter. Neither does past glories, or mistakes. It becomes an entirely new game, and it will become what you make out of it. So, work hard, so hard that even when you lose the game, you know in your heart, that you're a winner.

Remember, they can say what they want to say, but at the very end of the day, you are only answerable, to yourself.
