Ahead of his fight against HIsati Kato at Bellator 139 tomorrow night, Joe "Stitch 'em Up" Schilling has missed both of his sons' birthdays and Father's Day because of the commitment to his current fight camp in Coconut Creek, Fla., at American Top Team (ATT).
All athletes who strive to reach the top of their respective sports will sacrifice something of higher value to inch closer to that goal.
Whether it's a strict diet and arduous weight cut that deprives them of desired food, or a fight camp where they push their bodies past the point of exhaustion, the ones who want it the most will do things others won't.
