I love boxing - but I hate it!

show her the money.

 

Thats the bad thing about being a trainer, you think you have a kid who's going to be the best thing since sliced bread at 13 and they win everything but by the time there 16 they have new things out there (beer/women) and give it up. happens to so many
you'll have another one dont worry :good

 

Perhaps it's too much pressure for her. A gym mate of mine had the same, he competed for two years but now he's back to boxing for fun because he had to give up too much. I have no doubt he'll be back to competing next season, he just needed a break.

 

Can you have a heart-to-heart with her? Find out why she's not interested anymore. A lot may depend on her age and her friends. Hell, I'm an adult and I still get pressure from my friends about training too much and never spending time with them.

I know as a female competitor that all the last minute cancelations and people backing out of fights really wears on you. You train so hard and give up so much to be great and you rarely get bouts. It's frustrating to watch guys at the gym who barely break a sweat and hardly ever show up, get bouts whenever they feel like asking the coach for one, simply because there is more competition. It's hard to stay focused and motivated. That feeling of constantly being let down does wear on you and make you wonder why you sacrifice so much.

Is she aware how much potential she has? Does she know that you're upset? Some people take coaching like you've done for granted. They don't realize that not every coach will put in the extra time to work with you. She could be bored with it, she could be getting flack from some of her friends, or she could be feeling too much pressure. But you'll never know until you sit down and talk to her about it. Go out for lunch and just straight up ask her.

 

That tends to happen with women..

I would never waste a single second of my life training one.

 

Your loss mate, some women are very talented fighters. It happens with guys too, they come and go.

 

Get real moron. In the four year that I've been boxing, I can count on one hand the days I've missed and there have been so many guys that have come and gone that I can't even begin to remember how many there have been. Just since January we've probably had at least 10 guys start up all gung-ho, only to quit three weeks later. Just last Wednesday a guy showed up all raring to go and lasted 20 minutes into our workout and walked out saying it was too hard.

So take your close minded BS attitude and stuff it.

 

Sounds like a scene from a shitty romantic comedy. You wanted to have sex with her, this has got nothing to do with boxing.

 

Maybe it's the first time he's had a boxer with potential take it seriously. He's being sentimental, give him some credit.

 

I'm sceptical :yep

 

No come on! This is lifted directly from When Harry Met Sally.

I'll point you to some words of wisdom from Floyd Mayweather Snr when he stopped training Dawson; 'That boy got some ******ation in him!'

 

Many guys find out they're not as macho and tough as they thought they were. For girls that is less the case, as they had less machismo in the first place. There are far less girls, but more of them seem to stick to it. Most guys just can't handle it when they find out they're not the ****. Girls didn't think they were the **** to begin with.

Does that make girls tougher? No, they're just more realistic because they're not bothered by pride. Only true alpha females join a gym, the rest stays home to iron clothes, while every ***** male joins the gym because he's seen a few Rocky movies

(sorry Amy)

What a ***git.

:good
