Training makes an athlete but there's nothing like a little poverty to instill in someone the will to succeed.This is why there are few champion boxers from Beverly Hills, those complacent schmucks.
I once got severely pissed off after being chased down by a bunch of riders who refused to work so I attempted to ride them into a farm cart.True story.
A person does stuff in the heat of competition that they otherwise wouldn't .Also as one who has crashed more than his fair share I can tell you that shock isn't merely an urban legend and it only really starts to hurt sometime later.
Sort of like marriage and raising kids.
