Save this for later!

An intelligent fighter knows that winning is NOT the objective when sparring. Nobody cares and neither should you. Sparring is merely an opportunity to learn, to practice, and to review. You must get tagged to work your defense and mental stamina/relaxing under pressure. You must pick your spots and control the tempo. Emotional regulation is key.

Every punch does not have to land, but should fill a lane to both obstruct and psychologically distract your opponent. And shooting those punches from different angles and levels gives the opponent more to think about while making you less predictable.

The Sports and Fitness industries have a load of products to sell to you. Most of them are worthless and they know it. Their objective is to make you a consumer. However, your coach's objective is to make you an intelligent boxer. If you put great products on an inconsistent, undisciplined, and flakey student, the result will still be a poor fighter. However, if you put cheap products on a disciplined, consistent, and coachable student, the result will still be a good fighter. Products won't make you better. Discipline and self control/mastery will.

The very first thing that a coach continually assesses in a new learner is attitude. Attitude trumps athleticism and bravado anytime. Be humble, heed instruction, be prompt, be consistent, and be diligent. And leave your feelings and opinions at the door. Don't seek to be understood. Rather, seek to understand and to execute as instructed. Science doesn't care about your feelings. Science only concerns itself with fact, evidence, and peer reviewed credibility. And rather than ask "why," find out why by listening and then executing.

You can have the heart of a lion, the courage of a pitbull, and the will of a tiger, but if you cannot take direction, make adjustments as recommended, and have the integrity to train as told you will be the greatest know it all who gets knocked out regularly by even the most average opponents.

Oh you want to compete huh? If so, show me.

Here are several things that go on in an 8 week training camp. !

"The coach can't fight for you."
If you're not putting in the work daily, consistently listening, consistently showing up, being honest and disciplined about your conditioning, prioritizing your designated boxing time to boxing, sparring when sparring time is set, trusting that your coach can see you doing things that you cannot see or realize, and expecting your coach to support reckless decisions, then you will be the best dressed boxer that cannot box. And flashy gyms are for fashion models and celebrities, NOT boxers who want to box.

Your trainers can’t fight for you! Errol vs Bud is going to FIRE @barstoolsportsbook
