1
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:04,640
okay . 

2
00:00:08,630 --> 00:00:10,963
There's either excellence of mediocrity . 

3
00:00:11,740 --> 00:00:12,740
Uh huh . 

4
00:00:21,530 --> 00:00:23,752
I really feel like this is the ultimate 

5
00:00:23,752 --> 00:00:24,470
challenge . 

6
00:00:31,740 --> 00:00:33,851
Drill and you drill and you drill and 

7
00:00:33,851 --> 00:00:36,018
gets in your body gets in your brain . 

8
00:00:36,018 --> 00:00:37,962
So it becomes a natural reaction . 

9
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:49,873
Really , Truly feel like there's 

10
00:00:49,873 --> 00:00:52,320
nowhere to go but up . Coaches I've had 

11
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,670
along the way in my program , we have a 

12
00:00:54,670 --> 00:00:56,870
clue . Do you know how to get it done 

13
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,462
way Know how to build champions both in 

14
00:01:00,462 --> 00:01:03,240
and out of the ring , And that's what 

15
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:04,518
we intend to do here . 

16
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,690
All right ? Yeah , 

17
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,810
coming into the Marines that I should 

18
00:01:27,810 --> 00:01:31,800
be around it . And here , the 

19
00:01:31,810 --> 00:01:34,330
culture and the history and what it 

20
00:01:34,330 --> 00:01:37,040
means to be a Marine hearing , no 

21
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,250
better friend , no worse enemy . It is 

22
00:01:39,250 --> 00:01:42,150
very exciting , actually , because it 

23
00:01:42,150 --> 00:01:43,817
goes hand in hand with , with 

24
00:01:43,817 --> 00:01:47,110
competition of what we're up to . And 

25
00:01:47,110 --> 00:01:49,277
so most things in my life I strive for 

26
00:01:49,277 --> 00:01:51,499
excellence . And one of the things that 

27
00:01:51,499 --> 00:01:53,499
I've seen the Marines is strive for 

28
00:01:53,499 --> 00:01:57,170
excellence . True competition . 

29
00:01:57,540 --> 00:02:00,220
His novel wins and losses and putting 

30
00:02:00,230 --> 00:02:03,730
people down it's is a partnership . It 

31
00:02:03,730 --> 00:02:05,508
is just an ebb and flow . We're 

32
00:02:05,508 --> 00:02:06,786
bringing each other up 

33
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:11,840
when we can perform at that kind of 

34
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,610
excellence in competition that's gonna 

35
00:02:14,610 --> 00:02:17,120
inspire Americans and Marines all 

36
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,650
around . My name is Joe 

37
00:02:20,650 --> 00:02:24,180
Higgins on the head coach of the two 

38
00:02:24,180 --> 00:02:26,710
meth Mae's pilot boxing program . 

39
00:02:29,770 --> 00:02:31,937
Everything I've ever done , whether it 

40
00:02:31,937 --> 00:02:34,270
was me becoming a New York City fireman , 

41
00:02:34,270 --> 00:02:36,492
becoming a drill instructor for the New 

42
00:02:36,492 --> 00:02:38,492
York City Fire Academy , running my 

43
00:02:38,492 --> 00:02:40,714
Police Athletic League program all came 

44
00:02:40,714 --> 00:02:42,881
from the dignity and the way I carried 

45
00:02:42,881 --> 00:02:45,450
myself . A za Marine e . No , it can 

46
00:02:45,450 --> 00:02:47,470
kind of sound corny , but it's the 

47
00:02:47,470 --> 00:02:50,710
absolute truth and for me to be here 

48
00:02:50,830 --> 00:02:52,886
and try to create greatness with the 

49
00:02:52,886 --> 00:02:55,052
Marine Corps , maybe it's a way for me 

50
00:02:55,052 --> 00:02:57,340
to cap off my coaching career because 

51
00:02:57,340 --> 00:02:59,284
this is the ultimate challenge and 

52
00:02:59,284 --> 00:03:01,650
anything other than national Marine 

53
00:03:01,650 --> 00:03:04,550
champions or , in fact , possibly ah , 

54
00:03:04,550 --> 00:03:08,290
Marine Corps Olympian . If we could get 

55
00:03:08,290 --> 00:03:10,290
Marines on the podium raising their 

56
00:03:10,290 --> 00:03:12,820
hands is boxing champions gold medal 

57
00:03:12,820 --> 00:03:14,960
winners to me , 

58
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,407
anything else other than that would be 

59
00:03:18,407 --> 00:03:18,550
a failure
