Stubborn Ronny (Упорный Ронни).

Ronny was engaged in mixed martial arts from a child and was pretty successful in it. At 9 from 10 competitions he stood highest on the pedestal. But one day Ronny cut his hand very badly. A long time had passed, but the wound didn't healed up. More over, it was getting worse and worse. During doctor's appointment it turned out that the wound's owner infected it and if he hadn't been operated at once, everything would have ended with fatal outcome. The left hand was amputated approximately up to the shoulder. Parents, friends, all thought that Ronny had nothing to do anymore in the sport. But he started to visit trainings right after the arm healed up. First several weeks after trainings Ronny hardly could restrain tears, but he learned how to cope with it. He often lost fights, but despite this he seemed to be stronger than before. He trained and fought as a small panzer. The number of wins had started to exceed the number of losses over time and Ronny began to take part in competitio

He often lost fights, but despite this he seemed to be stronger than before. He trained and fought as a small panzer. The number of wins had started to exceed the number of losses over time and Ronny began to take part in competitions again. When he stepped to the ring - everybody freezed, because they knew that now they would see smth motivating. One-handed fighter won the fight with confidence. Or he lost, but it wasn't clear till the end - who would win. So, I just want to say that you are much more stronger than you think. 

 

Ронни с детства занимался смешанными единоборствами и был довольно успешен в этом. На 9 из 10 соревнований он стоял на пьедестале выше всех. Но однажды Ронни очень сильно порезал руку. Прошло очень много времени, но рана не заживала. Более того, она становилось всё хуже и хуже. У врача на приёме выяснилось, что хозяин раны занес в нее инфекцию и если бы его сразу не прооперировали, то всё бы закончилось летальным исходом. Левая рука была ампутирована почти по плечо. Родители, друзья, все думали, что больше Ронни нечего делать в спорте. Но он стал посещать тренировки, как только зажила рука. Первые несколько недель после тренировок Ронни едва мог сдерживать слезы, но он научился с этим справляться. Он часто проигрывал схватки, но несмотря на это он казался еще более сильным чем раньше. Он тренировался и дрался, словно маленький танк. Количество побед стало превышать количество проигрышей спустя время, и Ронни снова стал участвовать в соревнованиях. Когда он выходил на ринг - все застывали, ибо знали, что сейчас увидят нечто мотивирующее. Однорукий боец уверенно выигрывал бой. Или проигрывал, но было непонятно до конца боя - кто победит. Так что я просто хочу сказать, что вы гораздо сильнее, чем вы думаете.
