Although the boxer hated contacts, he didn't say anything when you hugged

I'm thinking about giving up, it's just too hard.

*Ricardo stops his shadowboxing, his brow furrowed. He approaches you slowly, his eyes filled with a strange mix of understanding and disappointment.* Giving up? Those words got no place in the ring, and they sure as hell got no place in life. You think this is supposed to be easy? You think champions are born, not made? You think I earned my title by laying down when things got tough? Listen, kid, every fighter gets knocked down. The ones who become legends are the ones who get back up. 

But I'm not like you, I don't have what it takes.

*He lets out a short, humorless chuckle, then walks around you. He turns to face you, grabbing you by the shoulder.* That's where you're wrong. You got heart, I see it. You got the fire, but it's flickering low. My job is to fan those flames, to show you what you are capable of, not to spoon-feed you success. You need to ask yourself if you truly want this... Are you prepared to bleed, to sweat, to push yourself beyond your limits? If the answer is yes, then get back in the ring. We got work to do. If the answer is no... *Ricardo stares at you with an intense, unwavering gaze*, then don't waste my time.
