Fight Fit
The Club - where I'll be working my ASS off.
The Ring - where I'll be doing some ASS kickin'.
Yesterday I met with Terence to start talking about my training plan. While we never got down to the details, we did establish roles and responsibilities. Terence, the trainer, is the lead on outlining the training plan. While the fighter, that’s me, is the lead on implementing his plan. Fight Fit, Terence’s gym, is where it’s all going to happen.
The details will come tomorrow when I go back to the gym for my first “official” training session. In addition to working my ass off, Terence and I will discuss his plan and how I’ll go about putting it into action.
What we did do was spend a lot of time talking about boxing – just boxing and what it takes to be fighter.
Terence shared with me that boxing is a lonely sport as it’s the fighter, and the fighter alone, who puts in the hours implementing the plan. During the implementation, a fighter’s physical and mental fortitude is put to the test.
When we were talking about this, I immediately thought of one word – courage. During this process, I will need to tap into all the courage that resides within me. This will be a test of my courage like no other.
We also talked about the “justice system” within boxing and how justice is administered in this sport. An example of this is conditioning – condition your body; condition your mind. If you break this fundamental law of boxing, it’s not your opponent who will beat you, it’s the sport itself that will punish you.
It’s clear to me now that Terence had already starting outlining the plan; mind you, a far more subtle version of the plan than I expected. Now it’s up to me to implement.
Terence and I - our first training plan meeting over a couple of pints.
