Question
Mr Rose,
My name is Mike Newson,I have been a Boxing coach and personal trainer for the past 10 years in the Las Vegas area. I have been wanting to start a golden gloves gym in the area but I do need some guidance in the right direction. Please contact me if you have time to talk more. .Thanks.
Mike,
Since several things have changed since our program was started back in the early 70's I would feel more comfortable directing you to the source. Please go to http://www.goldengloves.com/contacts/ and email one of the gentlemen on the list. They would be able to fill in all the holes I might leave out.
Best of luck

Experience
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.
