Hi Jeff

Absolutely!

Hi Dan,

Unfortunately I'm not too clued up on which fitness qualifications are worthwhile and which ones aren't.

I'm a little too "old school" in that all I have traded on in the world of boxing is experience (outside of boxing, my only other qualifications are in mechanical engineering - not a lot of use in this instance!). That's not to say I don't think it's a wise decision to look into it, in fact I think it's a very smart idea. Fortunately for me, what I lack in formal sports science education I know plenty of people who are qualified and have great experience in that area who help me out and advise my boxers.
So I definitely think you are making a good decision to pursue it, as it will only be of benefit to your future boxers - regardless of the piece of paper you will acquire, but rather for the actual knowledge you will be able to obtain and utilize.

With regards to more specific guidance regarding these type of courses, Jeff has an excellent background in this area and no doubt he can offer you some sound advice, he really know his stuff. Kevin (Maree) who also posts here is another one who has top qualifications and experience in this area.

To answer your general question though - yes, it is definitely a step in the right direction. Whilst it is not something absolutely necessary, it can only be an advantage and can do no harm.
As I say, I often utilize the knowledge of others who are qualified in this area, and by no means am I too close minded not to listen and act on their advice preferring to stick to more "traditional" methods. Whatever works to optimize the boxer's conditioning will do for me.


Back to more boxing specifics...
Sounds like a real cop out all the excuses they gave you at the first gym you approached. I will say, there are some self-centred arseholes in the sport who are only concerned about what they've got going on and don't make much of an effort to help others. However, there are also some fantastic people who are truly passionate about the sport and will be more than happy to help you out if they can, so please don't be put off or disheartened by the attitudes of a few.

 

Did you pursue Farnells offer ?

You is in Manchester aint ya ?

I guess ya canna pm him here ( need 50 posts to PM aye ? ) but ya can leave ya number or email on the public section of his profile.

If i was in your shoes, i would be jumping on that offer.

Just rock up even, tell him who you are, pretty sure it would be fine.

Im sure a lot can be learnt even standing in the furthest away corner.

No, thats a fact actually.

GO GO GO ! ! !
