The Value of a Great Coach

There is a strange contradiction in boxing, the more you practice and the further you go the less you seem to know. If you are serious about boxing you must be taught by a knowledgeable proven coach or you are wasting your time and money.  As you become proficient in the sweet science a proven trainer is valuable.  A good coach will teach you more advanced moves, drills and give you the skills and knowledge you need to compete at a high level. A proven trainer will keep things new by having you practice different techniques, tricks, traps and styles. Training at a gym under a great coach will also attract good boxers. This allows you to watch and spar with more experienced fighters and pick things up from them. Listening to a seasoned coach give instructions to his fighters in the gym is another great way to learn. Don’t be afraid to change your style, your gym, or your trainer in search of a higher level of performance. Never stop learning.
