Roger Adolph of the St′at′imic Nation, got into a fight playing basketball at the Kamloops Indian Residential School. If you want to fight, he was told, get in the ring. After a successful amateur and pro career, he retired from boxing to become a chief negotiator for his people. He claims he would not be the leader he is today if it were not for boxing. “Sports”, he says, “is the prime vehicle for developing future leaders.”
