Family Values
Joshua, 34, expressed that living with family is a common cultural practice and something he values. He explained, "In our culture, you grow up with your family.

Joshua explained, "If you can't get the distractions out of your life, you can't get your full attention on improving as an athlete. For me, when I stopped smoking, I was able to progress."
