    My coach trains mostly pros and I (being an extremely inexperienced amature) was lucky to even meet him so I didn't expect him to really take me under his wing but right after i started training with him something just connected and we developed a great relationship. He always puts me in with the right people and sometimes I am the punching bag in the ring but I always learn something new that either him or the person I am fighting teaches me. he knows me well enough to know how to motivate me. He is a genius in boxing and every time I train with him I learn something knew. He is basically like a second father to me.

    My trainer is a very old school man, firm but fair. There's only one way to get his respect and that's by earning it the hard way in the ring. I owe this man a lot for saving my sanity, so I try to be a robot in training. If he gives an order I'm doing it before he ends his sentence, no questions asked.

    I've been training for two weeks and he's a good guy. It's a busy gym so there isn't much one-on-one time, but he gets me on a routine and has started me on sparring. Fair dude, seems to know his ****.

    Every gym i have trained at (2 gyms) there have been more than one trainer but one head coach.

    In my first gym West Ham abc the head coach was a strict old school no nonsense guy, he was/is a great trainer, knew exactly the right things to say etc, but some reason after about 1.5 years training with him, we fell out, dont know why but he just wouldn't care about me, i was just some guy who regularly trained there so i decided to change gyms.

    the 2nd gym i joined was Newham ABC, a very good club, old school coaches, not as big or as well known as West Ham but one thing i loved was everyone there was like family, we were there as a team, the coach wouldn't put one person over another, treated everyone the same and would have time for everyone, he was surprised that i left West Ham to join his gym because West Ham was supposed to be a top gym but i explained my situation to him and he let me in his gym.
