I was in a slump after i lost my last two fights. Then my wife packed my bag and drove me to the gym and said " that was only the first round. This fight is not over yet.
Shoulder injury -> almost losing my job -> working more to save my brother from going into foster care. The idea of competing is out the window, but I still train. Never fully walking away from this 🥊❤️
I’m in the same boat, I’ll be going back to the boxing gym but I don’t think I’ll compete again! Although there’s is that small part of me that wants to go into competitions, I’m not sure if I’ll have the time to fully dedicate!
Even as a 42 year old man, boxing discipline made me so much better as a person. Even when I'm sick, I do some form of studying of boxing and mental exercises. To make it short : Boxing is so much more than two guys fighting in a ring. Peace.
So true about the discourage meant part. You will get dropped,beat up,taken advantage of, but that’s part of the process. It sucks at first but if you really want to get better you gotta move past that.
Every church congregation should have a boxing program (1 Cor. 9:26). The mindset is the same as the walk of faith: no excuses; whatever you do, do it with all your might. That's how you build up strong men in body and mind. Thanks, Coach.
I’m 29 and been on and off boxing for years but now I decided to permanently commit and I do want to be a good competitor in the amateurs. I agree with everything you said here.
You are a very encouraging and motivational speaker. You prove that being a "good boxing couch" involves much more than training technique. Great Job!!!
I train like I was competing in boxing but have no intentions on getting in the ring and putting my health on the line. I just love the sport and the perks of it. I’ve never been in this type of shape since I’ve been training like a boxer. I’d say boxing is a lifestyle. You don’t have to be a fighter though. Only thing I don’t like and prevents me from competing is the consequences of brain damage. Boxing is no joke, it’s not a game.
I noticed im always in the mood to do somthing whenits the wrong time.it reflected on my boxing work ethic this week, but I found a way to help myself in that flaw. I'm musically inspired so I set alarms with particular songs at different times of exercise and diet.i pick songs that Amp me up when I exercise to burn off negatively or frustrations. I pick loving songs when I eat bc what we listen to is digestible too and I want only good vibes coming in. Setting these alarms made me feel more organized.day 1 of doing this and im already reaching my goals of the day.
Slipping 3 discs in my lumbar spine. L5/S1, L5/4 and L4/3. Look after your back first is my best advice ! I damaged mine when i was a tradesman floor layer and lifted up a roll of vinyl flooring and popped a disc. Over the years i boxed and adopted an aggressive style with lots of head movement and bobbing and weaving which took its toll on my spine even more over the years. Now i train a little bit but get disheartened because i cant even do core training, i.e burpy jumps, sit ups etc, without my lower back aching from my discs bulging and pushing on my sciatica nerve 😣
Thanks, Coach V! I got absolutely lit up in a spar the other night. Was difficult to handle. Humbling. But it just motivated me to learn, focus and do better next time.
I train hard, I'm motivated by adversity and getting beat makes me want to train more. However, I go home from sparring with a sore body and busted up face - nothing extreme, but the expected niggles from boxing - and I can't let go of the thoughts of: are my organs being damaged, am I damaging my brain over time, and the thought of losing brain function or any kind of body function and becoming a vegetable or a burden on my family into the future is what I fear. And I don't know whether I should quit to another sport, or what to do
@@joeyblogsy But competing is what drives me personally to train harder and consistently with a goal. I kinda see it pointless if I'm training boxing just for fun. I like competition, and I need competition. Idk what to do either.
I love boxing. And I love the training too. But lately I've been cautious about my brain health. I already had 2 amateur bouts which I've won but to this day my family still constantly discourages me from continuing. Personally I don't see boxing as a future career and I have no desire to be a pro because of the risks and sacrifices I have to make. I have other options and I don't want to end up developing CTE at an early age too. In the US or other countries where boxing has a long history, people pursue the sport to literally fight out of the dumps and feed their families. But where I come from, boxing training is quite pricey (especially for a student who is working part-time) and not as big in terms of the pro scene. I'm still thinking deeply about what to do onwards with my boxing journey. I don't want to waste all these years just on being an amateur since injuries are still a big thing, plus I'm not getting paid for it at all. A really tough decision to make but I still don't have a clue what to do.
I haven’t even sparred yet but I’m already feeling like this isn’t gonna be my main focus. I love training, I love boxing. But I feel like I just won’t be able to split my time correctly with what I’m wanting to do. It’ll probably ruin my progress with boxing.
Love this channel. I'm a total beginner but am so fascinated by the sport of boxing. I've been watching it for so many years but have just never got involved. So i thought this is the year to try and pick it up. Big thank you for the videos, it helps people so much. Do you have an Instagram or twitter or anything incase me or any others want to send in clips and things for you to help us?
I've recently quit karate, but the reason why I quit is because I didn't love it anymore. Before I started martial arts in general, I knew that I wanted to learn how to have a high level fight. I wanted to do sparring. Learn new and interesting combinations. And win a fight. But when I joined karate, I didn't get that. We did horse stances and kempos (combinations) but it wasn't real fighting. It was mainly punching the air, we didn't talk about different punches like the upper cut and hook.. and the punches we did learn couldn't be applied in a real fight, and my sensei told me that most if what we learned couldn't be used in a fight.. We also did sparring but it was one touch, one point. Not too competitive. And soon I got bored with it. Honestly. I didn't stop going because I was tired, or I didn't want to workout, or train in general. I stopped going because when I thought of the end result, I didn't like what I saw. I didn't see what I hoped to become. But I still feel a little torn by it. Idk. My mom said I'm a quitter, but what's the point of training in something that you don't like or want to do. Especially if the end result is a result you don't care about.
Lol, when the TH-cam algorithm suggested his videos to me, I had to take a double look at his thumbnail. When I did not see the Ball last name, I knew it had to be someone else 😂
I just quit boxing today because there has been no improvement, 3 months going 3-4 times a week and sparring just gets worse and worse. The blame is on me, its just not my sport
It happens brother this sport requires so much commitment the average person cannot sustain. At least you tried something that most people would not have the nerve to 💪🏼
Ive always thought there are four cornerstones of success, they apply to any grind where you have to be the best. Not just boxing They are : Discipline - explained in the video Mental minerals- the mental fortitude to become obsessed over hard work and never get discouraged ,instead using the negative emotions to further fuel passion and hard work. Skill- which is skill you gain through hard work. Your hard work must lead to results and not be in vain. It is also a little bit of natural aptitude, which could link to the next point. Luck- whether you like it or not luck is always involved. It may being born in a first world country, or being born with no disabilities, or living near a top level boxing gym for example and not living in quiet countryside. Also being born to a wealthier family always helps as long as the luxury doesnt spoil your mind. If you can manage all of these, success in anything is basically garanteed.
Quitting sparring isn’t the same as boxing. For me I quit sparring, or at least heavy sparring. But I still train a lot. I don’t see the point in quitting training though, that’s just lack of discipline unless you have some sort of injury.
Hello coach V , just came across your videos, you got me inspired man!!! I want to get back to some boxing training, where can I find your gym please. Thanks man !!!
Idk im christian i box, but i want to quit ive been traibing for 3 years already, but i just lost my passion. I used to love boxing now its just a chore. I am 1-0 fighting this weekend ,but it takes to much of my time and i need to do my homework more.
How do I punch harder I already been told I hit like a monster truck but I want to get better any tips ? And to loose weight , rn I’m 240 but my trainer says he can get me at 140-150-160 and I want to compete become pro
Work out more eat less, when you gotta lose that much weight you just have to be on a calorie deficit and not eat carbs especially if you want to lose it quick. If you don’t have carbs in your body your body uses fat for energy. Also cutting out sugar obviously.
I cut from 240 to 175 in about 7 months. My diet consisted of oatmeal, eggs, low carb tortillas, vegetables and fruit, lean meats, and plenty of fluids. You don't really need to starve yourself, but you need to eat right and work hard. I was training 2-4 hours a day, 4-5 days a week and running or walking on one of my off days. A key thing for me is avoiding processed carbohydrates - potatoes don't really hurt my progress, but sugary candies, cake, pie, etc. can really make me sluggish and cause me to put on the bad kind of weight. As for power, just keep working your technique. Maybe consider using weighted gloves a couple times a week. For me it came from practice, being mindful of technique, and my over all fitness. But don't get so infatuated with your power that you fail to build your boxing skills, or you won't get to really enjoy the sport.
I'm sorry to hear that brother, that's not how coaching should be done! If you find yourself a better team team you'll appreciate the sport much more!! #nodaysoff🥊📈💪🏽
Last year I suffered a distal biceps tendon rupture in my left arm. I had surgery to repair it, It's been 12 weeks and I am feeling good, hitting the heavy bag, speed bag, back to lifting and running. People keep telling me not to box anymore because I will re-injure it. I'm not pro, just amateur but I love it. Can I come back from that injury and box? What do you think V?
How's it going brother im glad to hear your on the road record to recovery🙌🏽🙌🏽 As far as competition is concerned when you are fully healed up I would consult your doctor just to make sure you are medically cleared, with some careful matchmaking it is possible otherwise I would never stop training!! #nodaysoff🥊📈💪🏽
My vision is terrible. I watch the chest and legs, and keep my head moving. Remember, the human brain sucks at reacting but it can be good at anticipating.
Not gonna lie, I went as hard as I could last year for one month straight. I went to the gym twice a day for 7 days a week, then my knee tore and all of that work was for nothing. Now I've been sidelined for over a year watching my friend who I used to beat get better than me.. Like, as much as I'm happy for him, I dunno. Dude just keeps telling me that he can't wait to sparr me, when I'm over here on the couch healing for a year, and he's over there fighting warriors 24/7. So the shit seems unfair as fuck and it just shows his character, but at the end of the day, if I can't beat someone, I'm gonna keep trying until I do. Can't wait to get back in the ring, feel that humbleness and the fatigue like you're about to die and can't breathe. There's no better feeling.
well the work aint for nothing you learned you need to give your body adequate time to recover if you training 2x a day you need to sleep in the afternoon for at least an hour or two Khabib talks about this
Muscle mass can help if technique, coordination and delivery of your punches is on point! There is a reason why there are weight classes in the sport! But focus more on strength and power training as opposed to bodybuilding!
There's no goal, or point, to reach. The industry is so rigged, that nobody knows how, to turn pro. If you wanna imagine a future, and keep yourself, in shape, go ahead. If you wanna get hit, in the head, until you're cerebral is slow, go ahead.. if you just want your friends, to say, you're boxing, occasionally, during their day, to day conversations, go ahead .. but trainers, ripping off fighters, for money, and retired referees, opening gyms, to rip off young dreamers, and their parents, of their money, during early years, destroyed, this industry, long ago. SMH the MMA PUBLICITY STUNT is destroying the sport, now.. you really got fake matches, taking place, for millions, while the real fighters, struggle, to pay gym dues.. I mean MMA charges $200 a month, gym dues.. that's to keep a diaspora, from the poor community out, from participating.
I quit after 8 years because I realized I wasnt good enough. Not talented enough. It showed it many fights but I didnt want to admit it. I put my life into it and was the hardest working dude I know in the gym, but everytime those lights was on, I crumbled under the pressure. And it got worse and worse. Let me give you guys some advice: If you have the slightest doubt, dont ignore it. Look inside your soul. Listen to your heart and your body. If you want it, you have no doubt.
I was in a slump after i lost my last two fights. Then my wife packed my bag and drove me to the gym and said " that was only the first round. This fight is not over yet.
U have a good wife
A strong woman or partner will always bring you further in your journey than a bunch of random people flowing thru your life
Haha imagine losing
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiit! My woman got at me about quitting! Woman can be so motivating fam!
@@MrSmurf459 correction- people important to you are motivating.
Lack of diverse sparring partners, lack of skill development goals, lack of motivation to push yourself, in my case injury.
Shoulder injury -> almost losing my job -> working more to save my brother from going into foster care. The idea of competing is out the window, but I still train. Never fully walking away from this 🥊❤️

@@MrSmurf459 just compete and you never know you might do well
Things will turn out good bro don't worry hope for the best
Hang in there Bro. Things always get worse before they get better. Its a test of character and your response time! GoodLuck
@@zerotwosixty7416 nah that sounds unsafe to compete without being well prepared imo
"everything negative that happens to you is an opportunity to improve yourself"
Agreed🥊📈💪🏼
you either take control of your life or life controls you 💯💯

An old pastor in Sydney had a boxing gym for youth for decades, a few years ago they kicked him out for urban development/gentrification.
I’m 29 and been on and off boxing for years but now I decided to permanently commit and I do want to be a good competitor in the amateurs. I agree with everything you said here.

Great Job!!!
This is it right here
Have some respect!!!
This guy is as real as they come . Love the shit
Discipline and focus are the most important keys to success
I try to use the discouragement and failures as fuel and education. I learn from them all, then I use them to fuel my training after.
Applies not just in the ring, but in life as well

How do u feel about somebody putting on muscle mass before they even start boxing training ? I just want to have more power behind my shots ..
Muscle mass can help if technique, coordination and delivery of your punches is on point! There is a reason why there are weight classes in the sport! But focus more on strength and power training as opposed to bodybuilding!
You’ll be slower btw with more muscle mass
First start training if your coach tells you that you need it then start doing strength and conditioning but only push ups and pull ups.
alot of shit trainers let you hit million of punches on the bag before you train your shoulders and get strong and get good technique=injury
WELL SAID💯🥊
🙌🏼🙌🏼💪🏼
3:00 didn’t age well especially for Errol Spence who just got a Eye injury while sparring
You think it’s better to train with whomever or to find an A grade coach & get private training just starting out?
Just starting, you don’t need a A grade coach. You can have a C grade coach and get into sparring shape.
Love this
coach V , u located in NY ?
Where are u located at?
Everyone loses! Losers quit and winners win. Ice your chin and get back at it. Learn from your mistakes, train harder and EAT THEIR EFFING HEARTS!!!
I’m trying to bulk tho. Probably better to eat some tacos
You look like Vincent Cassel
Making videos easy work don't hurt. Show us your work.
Someone list the 3 reasons
Lack of discipline. Injuries. Discouragement

@@tuilleri wait till you recover and go back or if you have one broken arm trying training the other hand
@@DarkTriad777 ok thanks homie
There's no goal, or point, to reach. The industry is so rigged, that nobody knows how, to turn pro. If you wanna imagine a future, and keep yourself, in shape, go ahead. If you wanna get hit, in the head, until you're cerebral is slow, go ahead.. if you just want your friends, to say, you're boxing, occasionally, during their day, to day conversations, go ahead .. but trainers, ripping off fighters, for money, and retired referees, opening gyms, to rip off young dreamers, and their parents, of their money, during early years, destroyed, this industry, long ago. SMH the MMA PUBLICITY STUNT is destroying the sport, now.. you really got fake matches, taking place, for millions, while the real fighters, struggle, to pay gym dues.. I mean MMA charges $200 a month, gym dues.. that's to keep a diaspora, from the poor community out, from participating.
Preach
0:53 to 1:03 😂😂😂
Why you quit young man. coach v?
Nice vid but please change your haircut ...
I quit after 8 years because I realized I wasnt good enough. Not talented enough. It showed it many fights but I didnt want to admit it. I put my life into it and was the hardest working dude I know in the gym, but everytime those lights was on, I crumbled under the pressure. And it got worse and worse. Let me give you guys some advice: If you have the slightest doubt, dont ignore it. Look inside your soul. Listen to your heart and your body. If you want it, you have no doubt.
Give me a one on one fade then I'll take your advice🤷🏾♂️🥊🥊
Why are you talking in this put on accent ? Just be yourself man
Worry about yourself cupcake, im pretty sure I'm doing waaay better than you 🤫
