Andre Ward’s top 15 tips for winning the Olympic Games

Olympic Games
  1. Hit and donโ€™t get hit

The bottom line, with the way that the scoring system [was] set up, and it could even turn over to professional boxing, the guy who hits the other guy more than heโ€™s being hit is the guy who wins and thatโ€™s the focus.ย Even as a professional it took me a while to come out of that Olympic scoring system mentality because I was always taught, โ€˜Donโ€™t even let the opponent look as if heโ€™s hitting you because you donโ€™t know how the judges are scoring.โ€™ I think the main thing is to focus on outworking the other guy.
