Boxing/getting started

Question
Boxing is my passion. I'm 16 years old and I want to get started in the game. My dad boxed for years and he said he would get me started, but hes quite a procrastinator. How do i go about doing this?
Well at your age you need your Dad's permission and go ahead anyway. Do not rush it. After he gives his approval then you can try to locate a good trainer. You can go to www.boxinggyms.com to locate a trainer and a gym in your area.
Thanks,
Joe
