A lot of trainers, boxers and boxing enthusiasts will tell you that boxing is a very complex sport. While others will tell you, it is a simple sport. You improve your stamina, timing, speed, power and you are good to go. They will tell you to train both your mind and body to endure every 3-minute round of a boxing match, sparring session or even your routine training.
If you ask me, it's pretty complex. It means a lot more than just hitting somebody trying to knock him out.
It's complex in a sense that boxing is not just about punching and beating the hell out of some guy (or girl). It's much more than that. It trains, not only your physical strength, endurance and stamina, but also your mental toughness. It is a place, a sanctuary wherein you get to know yourself, challenge yourself. You train yourself and achieve success in small or big endeavors of your training. It tells you that if you can go through with such a hard training, you can do any goal you set for yourself to achieve.
As for me, I've set a small goal of lasting the whole 3-minutes of our mitts (2 of these) during my routine workout at the gym. I set this small goal in order to achieve a bigger goal of lasting 3 rounds of the amateur match (with the pressure and an opponent in the ring that actually wants to knock you out) that will happen this November.
You set small goals to achieve an even greater goal. You take small steps, small successes until you can handle bigger ones.
What are your major goals? What have you set for your workouts, for yourself?
In all things, persevere,
