Not sure if any of you remember me. Im this 15 year old kid who lives in Malta. Middle of nowhere. Boxing was something i recently picked up (year n a half ago) but since day one i loved it with all my heart. I loved it more than anything, i would dream and dream that i will become good one day, and till today i want to do so. I used to train 8 times a week in summer and 5-6 times a week now (or im supposed to). I lost it, i simply lost it.. yes very sad, but whats worse? I lost it because i got distracted with ****ing games. Today i didn't even go just to play and my coach got pissed .. i realised i was doing wrong and i feel like a piece of **** about it. I simply smashed off all the games cause honestly, they do mess with your mind .. I cant believe this but what do you guys do when you feel demotivated .. Any shitty posts can go smack themselves against a doorknob
I take some caffeine and go and shadowbox, then i come home and watch my favorite fights, always seems to do the trick. Your just a kid, you made a mistake, your owning it and learning from it which is all anyone can do, I'm proud of you, you are growing up and starting to act like a man. Now apologise to your coach and prove yourself to him and yourself by working twice as hard as before.
this is what i told him, "honestly coach i ****ed up and im sorry .. One more chance, if i **** up one more time then dont train me ever again. Instead of being thankful your my coach i start finding all the bull**** to say excuses .."

Dont make that promise you will stuff up again and you made a promise to him that ****ed yourself up. good coaches realize young people make mistakes. you just need to show you are a good trainer who can train consistant, dont let distractions get in your way. be respectful if he expects you to show up. give him quality training and work hard. FFS dont take yoruself too seriously, just go and enjoy yourself. kids seem to burdon themselves with too much pressure. just show up and have fun
i put the pressure on myself and honestly i think i deserve it. I do enjoy boxing, alot.. too much probably, matter of fact i put it before everything. This isn't the first time i did this do.. he was patient with me alot of times and i did push it this time. You want to hear how sad i am? (and to make it worse on the internet). I Told him i couldnt make it cause it was raining and i got soaked when in reality it was ****in drizzling and i barely got a drop on me. I think i have some rare case, or well it seems too be very common. My mind goes against my heart.
Your 15 for godsake, i wish "it was raining" was the worse lie id ever told!! You ll be fine in the grand scheme of things this will just be a blip on the road!
drizzle is okay, you're not training for the olympics yet. older people make white lies to cover the tracks, its called damage control. as long as you're true to yourself and have discipline to correct the problems theres no problem with it(dont let him know though). Just chill out a bit, dont get too obsessed with one thing. Do your workout if you work out as much as you say theres nothing to be worried about
yea your right .. and john yea i know its nothing really but lying to your coach seems sad.. atleast to me it does
I must say I've never lost it and felt that I'd rather play games than go and train. That's in the three years I've been boxing. Do you competitively fight? I enjoy training, even when it's hard, but one of the things that keeps me going is thinking of my opponent.
i was supposed to have 3 fights.. all the opponents cancelled (atleast they cancelled a month before).. i've been training so hard but never get my chance to go in the ring cause everyone ends up quitting from before..
So? **** happens. You should be mad about them pulling out and be training for the next guy you're going to fight. You're sitting gaming instead of training, I wouldn't even want to fight if I was you.
