Why Start A Boxing Program?
There are numerous reasons why an amateur boxing program benefits,
not only the individual, but also the community they live in:
-
Because of its focus on individual achievement
boxing attracts "at risk" youth like no other athletic
program. It promotes self-reliance, accountability and serves as
an ideal outlet for the individual who does not participate in
team sports.
-
Boxing builds confidence and self esteem.
Success in the ring is dependent solely on that athlete and his
work ethic in preparing for competition. There are no teammates
to blame a loss on and only one person can receive accolades.
This generates an immeasurable sense of accomplishment in the
athlete for his individual capabilities.
-
Aggression and anger are actively channeled
through the intensity of the sport. Individuals are also less
likely to get into "fights" outside the gym because
they have no need to "Prove" anything. They learn to
respect their skills of self defense and selectively use them in
the ring.
Boxing is extremely safe. It is among the most
regulated in all amateur sports.
Daily physicals and medical attention are required for each athlete
during competition.
The equipment used is also regulated and must pass strict safety
guidelines in order to
be approved by boxing's national governing body, USA Boxing.
