We are committed to making professional boxing a proud, realistic career choice for America's top athletes. With the help of our rigorous, structured training program and generous financial incentives, boxing can once again compete with sports such as football and basketball for the aspirations and dreams of the nation's best young athletes.    To be sure, only the most talented, dedicated young sporting hopefuls have what it takes to be a true heavyweight champion. At the highest level, 12 three-minute rounds in the ring demand a combination of skill, physical prowess and mental strength that only a chosen few can attain.    At the heart of our vision is a view of boxing as an honorable, proud profession - we want to build boxing careers based on hard work and a commitment to excellence, not on ambitions of fleeting fame and the promise of quick riches. The Rock: Our State-of-the-art Boxing Academy The Rock, our elite academy based in Carson, Calif., is the epicenter of the AAH boxing revolution. For the first time, fighters can develop their technique under the supervision of the world's leading boxing coaches while fine-tuning their physical and mental strength using the very latest breakthroughs in sports science, nutrition and psychology.    Smart, wired and fully equipped with state-of-the-art computing and multimedia systems, The Rock is a digital gym for the 21st century. This is where expert instructors record and analyze our boxers' performances in minute detail using the latest sports science technologies.    But our embrace of technology extends well beyond the gym. We know that computer skills are life skills. All of our fighters – and kids from our community in Carson – have access to cutting-edge hardware and software, and are encouraged to enroll in practical computer learning classes.           .
