sad story

[street]

hello everyone. i have a story of a friend of mine he was an amateur boxer atleast till friday he decided to drop out he is 16. he said that he was going to drop out because one day a man with expirience watched him fight and told him he didnt have a good guard that he had heart to fight but he wasnt being train well, and then he said that he told his coach he was dropping out. his coach is old and cant move that much that is why he is dropping out. then he says he doesnt want to go with another coach because he doesnt want his coach to feel bad. what you think of this, i thought he really could do it to bad he gave up, he will keep training for fitness but not for sport,only running and stuff like tat. as for the coach he is probably really sad to loose his best fighter, he is in grat sadness because 2 months ago his boxing club burned down and his best fightrer now droping out.oh well like they say sh** happens

I think your friend should suggest that his coach bring in a younger assistant to help out with the physical aspects.

I agree just with the bringing in an assistant and your friend should know that just because someone is older does not mean that they don't have anything to contribute. The coach may have a better eye at spotting errors in fundamentals and that goes a long way.

I remember when I dropped out of martial arts for a year or so due to lack of motivation, not enough time due to studying for my Masters degree etc. Thinking back, they were just all excuses. I can't say I'm the best martial artist in the world, or even one that works out the hardest and toughest. However, I know that martial has to be part of my life.

If your friend decides to drop out of boxing, he will regret it. There has to be another way to get round this problem.

well the coach as he told me today has heart problems he had 2 heart attacks already, he also has diebities or however you spell it. he told me he is getting the itch to fight again so maybe not all hope is lost. he probably just went through one of those moments everybody expiriences.
