#4. Ambrose dropped out of high school a year after beginning training to become a wrestler
In life, everyone has their personal strengths. For some people, their strengths are using their hands, leading to their becoming mechanics, sculptures and painters. In other instances, their strength is academics, and they will strive to become doctors, lawyers and accountants.
For Dean Ambrose, his career path would be defined by where his passions lay. He knew as a teenager that in order for him to be successful in his chosen profession, he needed to show commitment, a level of commitment that has helped make him the star he is today.
After seeing a flyer, promoting a Heartland Wrestling Association show in his home of Cincinnati, he decided to attend. HWA was run by Les Thatcher, and after a year of training under him, Ambrose decided to drop out of high school.
Ambrose talked on Steve Austin's Stone Cold podcast about how school didn't motivate him, and he didn't see the point. Having been true to himself, Ambrose doesn't have any regrets about the decision he made, and has parlayed his dedication into becoming the best possible performer he could be.
