Editor's Notes

  • #7 Rocky is not only a hero among his neighbors in Philadelphia within the movies, but also has become a legend, part of the social imaginary in real life. The training scenes, the music, even the way he speaks have become symbols that represent something to everyone of us even if we hadn’t seen the film, because some of those scenes have inspired several sequences in uncountable posterior movies. How did he do it? Playing his strengths, focusing on his core and being consistent over time. And this is how we can do it as well.
  • #11 Rocky knows that the secret to be the last one standing when the bell rings is being in better shape than your opponent. That’s why he never skips the basics: running for cardio, crunches, push-ups and speed bag punching.
  • #14 Once he mastered the fundamentals, Rocky realized that in order to make a difference you need to train differently. Punching meat, catching the hen to gain leg agility, pulling a sled in the snow and chopping wood are just some of the alternative training that got him to the top.
  • #17 Rocky learnt this mantra from his good friend Apollo and so will we. Apollo understood that being a champion is not just about wining fights; it’s also about the kind of show, the sort of entertainment, that you provide. Nowadays, boxing is just not enough, and he knows it, so he has learnt to deliver a great show around his fights.
  • #21 Rocky knows that the secret to be the last one standing when the bell rings is being in better shape than your opponent. Because each of them is different, he plans his trainings accordingly and adapts the way he fights each of them.
