About this listen

In this episode, I sit down with Australian boxer Eddie Coumi to dive deep into his powerful and inspiring 15-year journey in the sport. Eddie shares how his story began at just 6 years old, stepping into his dad’s boxing gym — long before he ever imagined where the path would take him.

After finishing football, Eddie wanted a sport where everything depended on him. That decision led him into the world of boxing, where discipline, pressure, and self-belief became part of his everyday life.

Eddie opens up about the moments where he second-guessed himself, the doubts, and the crossroads that nearly made him walk away from the sport. He also shares an unbelievable experience training at Freddie Roach’s Wild Card Gym — the legendary coach behind Manny Pacquiao — and how that advice pushed him to win the Nationals and stay on the path.

We talk about the emotional moment he earned his place on the Australian team, what it felt like to step into that level of competition, and the reality of surviving an intense high-performance training camp.

Eddie also shares the blessings boxing has brought into his life — traveling the world, training in elite gyms, meeting pros, and seeing how far dedication can take you.

This episode is raw, motivating, and a must-listen for anyone chasing a dream or fighting their own battles in life.
