The following article is a branch of a research sponsored by the University of Cordoba; from the qualitative approach, it aims to reveal the life story of a former world champion in female boxing in Colombia. From the tales, which show her personal and social reality, an exercise of comprehension and interpretation of the senses and meanings, motivations, experiences and walk of life ingrown in the life of this representative of the gender in the national Boxing was done. As a result, we can find a life full of sacrifices and deprivations, a resilient family and a woman who strengthened herself not to be pulled down by the adversities. Her life is worth telling as an example and role model to the upcoming sports generations; a woman who we all have something to learn from, not only about boxing but also about ourselves.
