But coming home, my whole vision was to go to the University of Maryland, further my education, get a good job, take care of my wife and my kids, my family.
But you know what?
It got even better than that.
I was able to inspire people.
Because people tell you what they can't do.
They say, you can't do this, you can't do that.
But you know what?
You have to believe in yourself, because if you don't, no one else will.
Let's hear for that.
And so Ray, and this is what Esmond called him, I would call him Mr. Leonard, and he threatened to punch me again if I called him Mr. Leonard.
But Ray...
Could have gone to the University of Maryland on academic scholarship.
He's a brilliant man.
And he did not want to box professionally after the Olympics.
His goal was to represent our country and to win the Olympic gold medal.
And after he did, to be complete.
But then he had his dad and his mom, his family, and the beautiful things he wanted to do.
So he went into professional boxing.
But is there anything from your childhood, Ray, they'd want this group to know about how that began to form and shape who you were?
Anything in your childhood, growing up in Maryland, or do you want to jump right into leading up to the Olympics and your boxing career?
