Interview with: Raul Jimenez Sr.

~As a child, what was your dream?
We’ll as a child, I loved  sports. I was good at it, very good. I enjoyed football the most. I love the contact and just enjoying a win with buddies. Just being dominant on the field. So I really wanted to be a professional athlete.
~Do you like the outcome of your career?
