    Everyone loses, and everyone reacts differently. Some people may respond well to their coach yelling at them and use it as motivation, but for other people it may just make the feeling worse and further discourage them.

    A good coach knows his boxers and how to deal with each of them.

    Same happened to me and i think to never box again i loose by 5-2, my trainer said its ok cus is my first fight, my opponent fighting very dirty and judge warned him 6-7 times without public warning and i pissed off. How badly is loosing first fight ??

    A lot of people lose their first fight. I did, a lot of good people I know have. In the amateurs, losing barely even matters outside of tournaments.

    My coach yelling at me doesnt motivate me or unmotivate me. My own determination is what drives me to perform better next time and make sure i win. My coach didnt really upset me, it makes me think does my coach respect me and do i have the right coach, i dont like being spoken to like that, he belittled me very severly. If thats how he is going to react everytime something goes wrong, maybe im with the wrong coach.

    No i havnt confronted him, i usually let things slide, bit by bit i was starting to get fed up with the criticism. He does have very high expectations of me. Im not asking for a pat on the back for everything good i do but it does seem like i get the most criticism out of the fighters. After the fight was just the topping on the cake..

    Remember the old saying "you may lose the fight, but dont lose the lesson"


    A coach teaches you punching techniques and clues you up each step along the way from day one. Then he teaches strategies that are used to skillfully set up your attack/defense systems according to your individual traits eg;the style of fight that best fits YOU.

    BUT....

    In a large gym its hard for a coach to get the time he needs to work with the individual. You may also notice that there are trainers who are exceptionally talented and yet along the way get burnt out......then you may see a coach who demands you fight his WAY or you can **** off cos he dont have the time for rebels and and such. Fair call. Every man has the right to choose his own approach.

    It takes very large amounts of energy out of a trainer to keep going over the same stuff day after day, year after year.

    It is a reward when you see a student winning and prospering due to what you have taught them, but conversely it is as frustrating as all hell when they lose when they just WON'T or DON'T do what you have taught them.

    Its so easy to vent your frustration at a fighter when they have under performed.

    Some Coaches simply revert to wielding there authority (toungue) like a sword , rather than behave more like a King who is a servant to the needs of his people........

    The difference between the two types is that one is wise and looks for a solution to fix the problem, whilst the other is only fairly simple.... just like a small child who doesn't get what they want, so prefers to throw a tantrum because they are feeling upset at the moment.....poor coach!! his fighter got beat up so he dont get no candy!! get rid of that fighter!!

    The "childish" Coach will either mature or he will be the same in 10years time.

    We all react badly or in error from time to time. If another person treats you like a dog then BITE him!! nah just kidding lmao ... but if you are shown liitle respect and talked to like a peice of **** then its time you showed the coach a few combos on your way out the door......:patsch

    dont wory abou it,, i lost my 1st fyt, stopped actually. my coach was lied to abou my opponents ability, turned out he was a national finalist and regional champ, stopped me in 2!
    but i learnd 4rm it n went on 2 win my nxt 2 and 1 in front of my hometown, getn beat is all part of amateur boxing so dnt gt hung up on it, as for your coach he shouldn of shouted at you like that, but mayb a bit of a telling off myt have sufficed seeing as you didn stick to your style.

    but i no its hard to stay and fight on the outside wen your opponent is intent on brawling and the crowd is egging you on,, but always fight to your own style, hope dat helps
