Little Coaches Corner:
Everyone sees the medals and the wins. What people don’t see is what goes on behind the scenes.
Over 10 days, I cornered 27 fights across two major world tournaments in two countries. Most days started with 7:00 AM weigh-ins and ended around 7:00 PM. Many days there was only one meal because the focus was making sure every athlete was physically and mentally ready. I even had a flight booked to Krabi to corner @turnerswanpt , but his fight was cancelled at the last minute.
I also want to recognize some incredible coaches and support staff that I was able to work with.
@tony_disco stepped up in a huge way, taking on the adult IFMA team while helping the juniors after @rommeloliveros had to return home unexpectedly. He also handled registration and logistics under a lot of pressure.
@kierankeddle was a beast! . He arrived Wednesday and went straight to work Thursday, keeping over 100 WBC Team Canada members informed while constantly moving between corners and ringside showing his support.
@dariancarrington and @_mikedoherty weren’t just responsible for their own athletes- they were in our corners too, giving advice, keeping our athletes calm, and playing a big role in many of our successes.
@bosnian_menace and @mikeymuay gave everything they had, helping not only their own teams but other Ontario teams, including M-Town.
@sajibolo.p4p and part of the P4P team had their flight struck by lightning and were forced to land in Australia. They still arrived late and gave 100% from the moment they got there.
@_missr.aa.chel_ spent countless hours ringside capturing incredible moments for athletes, especially those from Ontario.
@honeybadgermuaythai was a true leader for Western Canada, supporting not only his own team but athletes and coaches across the entire West.
The athletes earned every medal. But behind every performance is a group of coaches, volunteers, and support staff giving everything they have.
Just wanted to give these amazing people the recognition they deserve. The photos show the victories. They don’t always show what it took to get there.
Thank you all. It was an honour to be part of this journey.
