do you ahve any techniques to stop being nervous my heart always pounds
Charles,
This is normal so don't feel like your the only one. The other guys will be just as nervous it's just that you don't think about it that way. You know if you just stood in the middle of the ring for 3 rounds with your gloves up and elbows tucked in, he could swing all night and never hurt you. So after you punch just keep your hands up. This helps eliminate that fear of getting knocked down. Also, throw first. If you put him on defense first every exchange, you will control most of the action and cut way back on getting punched at. You can't do anymore than your very best so just remember that you can take your training out there and do exactly what your suppose to do....and that's ALL you can do, no more. So if you follow instructions for the fight, you can't be disappointed in yourself no matter the outcome.
best of luck,
Jackson

I have been in the sport of boxing since 1984. I started as a boxer and advanced quickly. I was lucky enough to have some of the best sparring in the country with 3 top ten pros in my very gym. I am fortunate enough to live near one of the better boxing programs in the country. We have cultivated our facility into the largest Amateur Boxing Gym in the country. In the mid 90's I became a trainer for Golden Gloves. I train amateur and pro fighters. I have worked in many corners at USA and Golden Glove tournaments. I have worked corners in pro bouts on HBO and ESPN cards. My friend, boss and coach is the former President of Golden Gloves and I trained under his tutelage.
