From watching her hit pads she looks like she might have the physical potential to do well. Physically she can punch and move. Translate that into sparring and fighting is another thing all together. I have seen gronwn men begginers who cant hit pads that well. She should stick at it and see where it takes her. To answer your question. I think her coach is being honest when he says she has some potential.
I don't know if its because the young girl is lacking experience or the trainer doesn't know what he is doing but he is letting her slide on many errors in her technique. . You need to help her improve by pointing out the flaws you know? But besides that she does have RAW talent. . Some people have made it seem like raw talent will make you a protege at what your doing, NO! Raw talent simply means you have a knack for something and you have potential in it, which hasn't been developed which is why its called raw. Yes she has talent.
ok for 10 weeks she is doing extremely well, she is generating decent power turning the hips, protracting the shoulder and turning the wrist over, im very sceptical in believing she has only been training 10 weeks, there is obviously a lot of physical talent and athleticism there already, keep it up and i would think after another 10 weeks she would be ready for sparring
Well, I'm not sure what on earth talent is because it is such a general statement to make. If you're talking about athleticism, many factors make up to become a lot of things. Boxing is not a one-fold sport. Ask Muhammad Ali to fight in the style of Tyson and you'd probably say he had no talent and then vice versa. This is why fighting games are full of people who are so diverse. Anyway lets break it down. The only real validation that your trainer can say your girls have talent is if he has taught other ten year olds. I assume he is making that comparison with his usual tardy newcomers, grownups who cant move an inch without staring at the floor or having their own fixations. A ten year old kid can pick up and be ready to do new things because of the flexibility in her brain and body. Even a teenager still suffers from hard wiring to some degree. Anyway I'm gonna say that your Liza definitely has the potential (good core ability) otherwise she would be slow or clumsy or uncoordinated. Definitely no problems here. I'll admit that her learning/retention rate is pretty fast (even for a Ten year old) given that its only been two months.
well if that girl is really 10 and has only been training 2.5 months, then yes, i'd definitely say she has some great potential, looks pretty polished for a girl, especially one so young and inexperienced. Talent comes up in different ways, a coach told me he hates training complete naturals, he says sure they pick it all up so fast and win their first 5-10 or so fights, but often they get cocky, lose dedication and because they've never really been pressured and had trouble in the gym they can crumble in tough fights....seen it happen too. He says moderately talented is the best, they can pick it up ok, but they have to work for it and train hard. Some guys are talented punchers, some guys can see punches coming and have incredible reflexes, quick ass hands, some dudes are just smart as hell and can really think in there...... but yeah that girl defo has the potential to do good, if she stays dedicated theres plenty of options for her, especially considering that womens boxing has a relatively shallow talent pool. 2020 olympics will be the third olympics with womens boxing, and she will be 21....
