From Poverty to Olympic Gold

Claressa Shields, also known as T-Rex, made history at 17 years old. In 2012, she was the first U.S. woman to take home the gold for boxing at the London Olympics. But Claressa's story wasn't always gold medals and historic wins; instead it's an inspiring tale of how with hard work, determination, and perseverance anyone can overcome hardship and struggle.
