Today we’d like to introduce you to Alex Love.
Hi Alex, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My name is Alex Love; I was one of the first-ever women to compete in our first-ever Olympic Boxing Trials in 2012. I was on Team USA for many years, I was in the army and competed for the World Class Athlete Program. Following, I was a police officer in Westminster. I quit being a police officer a year ago to open my gym in Colorado Springs, CO. The gym is Boxing with Love. My purpose is to grow our community and to create good boxers, regardless if you ever compete or not. I want to continue to spread the message of the important of community and being yourself.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Being a woman in male-dominated fields has had its challenges.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I coach boxing; I also coach at the Olympic Training Center. I am most proud of being exactly who I am and never straying from my path or my mission.
Do you have any memories from childhood that you can share with us?
All the animals we had growing up! From rabbits, chickens, geese, pigs, steers to llamas haha.
