Break Quote by Floyd Mayweather, Jr

“I think my dad, when he works with my older son, puts the same kind ofpressure on him that he put on me - that perfectionist pressure. And that can work in two ways: It can make you a perfectionist yourself, or it can eventually break you in the long run.” quote by Floyd Mayweather, Jr
