Coach's Words
What I expect from boxers I train!
AMBITION - The determination to learn and succeed.
THE WILL TO PROGRESS IN SKILLS AND FITNESS - The realisation that progression can only be achieved by regular attendance to the gym and responding to coaching
TO WORK HARD PHYSICALLY FOR ALL ROUND FITNESS - To show complete concentration when learning and practising skills - immediately reacting to correction, so 'grooving' skills until they become automatic.
THE KNOWLEDGE THAT SKILLS MUST BE LEARNT AND PRACTISED IN TRAINING BEFORE THEY CAN BE USED IN COMPETITON - Above all, it must be realised that boxing is a dangerous sport, and that being hit by punches, that could be avoided by practising, is unwise and painful!
Finally, the one word that brings success is COMMITMENT. I give it to my boxers and I expect my boxers to give it to themselves and to me.
