Boxing book

I don't really find boxing instructional books to be very helpful. However, I do like to read boxing biographies. I feel like it's good motivation when you read about a particular boxer's struggles.

 

Not a good idea, because even if you think you're doing something right..You don't have someone who knows what they're doing watching you to tell you.

There's been countless times at the gym where I think i've been doing something right but then one of the coaches has came along and corrected me

 

i know what you mean mate it's like this with Youtube vids about boxing techniques as well, if you try and copy them half the time you go to the gym and your coach will tell you you're not doing it right

 

I should write a book

 

So you go to a traditional boxing gym aswell as read books/ look at vids?

 

I read one of that guy's other books. had some nice drills to use, and ?I REALLY liked his closing chapter on mindset. Talked about how a lot of fighters beat themselves by not thinking they deserve to succeed, etc.

I wouldn't pay for that book though.

 

That's not so bad then, I thought you meant learning purely off a book..

 

You need someone to look at what you are doing. You cant see the little things that an experienced trainer can.
