How do you know you've outgrown your trainer?

It's normal if your coach isn't very experienced. Some are only equipped to show you the basics and that's it. If you feel you've learned all you can from him and there are better options out there, then you should move on.

 

Maybe he doesn't feel you mastered the basics

 

Tell your trainer how you feel.
Ask him if he's going to give you any more, if he says no, then move on. If he says yes, give him a chance to prove it. If he doesn't then move on.

 

I have two suggestions:

1) Try getting him to work with you on mitts for a few rounds. It's a good way to work on technique 1-on-1.

2) Or after each sparring session ask him for advice on what you did wrong and how you can improve.

In either case, ask him for feedback. Let him know that you're eager to learn and would appreciate any advice he can give you, whether it's technique or conditioning related.

If this doesn't remind him that he's the coach and you're there because you need coaching, I don't know what else will.

 

Start gettin fights and tell your coach you want to turn it up, tell him i wanna learn more and fight more. if you havent fought yet thats most likely why hes not putting so much effort into it yet.

 

Just be persistant and determined in doing everything perfect. Can you imagine all the come and goers he's seen over the years?

He'll give you your moneys worth and maybe a bit more if he's nice but unless you're looking to be a good investment for his time you'll just be put into the new category.

I rekon you should work hard and do a good job at the golden gloves. Thats where you can prove yourself.

 

Then no, you haven't outgrown him.

 

mate you are unlikely to receive the attention that a pro gets from his trainer in the build up to a fight, you have to put in the hard work and master the basics taught to you. You say he gives you 1on1 time at the start of every session, that is your time to learn, the bags you work yourself etc and I imagine someone watches the sparring. If hes an ex olympic coach he knows his ****.
