COACHING IS MORE THAN X’s AND O’s. 🥊

Knowing boxing is important. Knowing technique is important. But knowing how to teach it is a completely different skill.

Not everyone learns the same way. Not everyone moves the same way. And not everyone who walks through the door is starting from the same place.

A good coach has to recognize that.

Sometimes you explain it. Sometimes you demonstrate it. Sometimes you have to break it down five different ways until you find the one that finally clicks for that person.

That’s the part of coaching that I think gets overlooked.

It’s not about showing people how much you know. It’s about figuring out how to communicate what you know in a way they understand.

Whether you’re working with a beginner, a kid, someone getting in shape, or an experienced fighter—the fundamentals may be the same, but the way you coach that person shouldn’t always be.

Meet people where they are. Build from there.

That’s coaching. 🥊

Stuck around after teaching to take Fusion by @looks_that_kell . The opening plank series humbled me. ..
Check out the schedule @the_energy_barre and take one of @looks_that_kell classes. Great energy, awesome cues. Super challenging in best possible way.
