The Boxing Ring:
7 months have passed since I join Title Boxing Johns Creek… And boy has this been a
journey! It’s been one of willpower,
determination and self-discipline.
Boxing is truly a sport for the “Courageous One”. It’s a sport that is very demanding both
physically and mentally…. I’ve played a
number of sports over the course of my life, but this one has by far been the
most challenging for me.
In so many ways, it has also been parallel to my life within
the last few years as a whole. Stepping into the “ring of unknown territories”,
and then having to go rounds with each one requiring all that you have to give
and more. The sport of boxing demands
that you be quick on your feet, quick with your hands and mentally sharp as these
are a few “essential” elements needed in the sport.
It’s also a little more intense and it takes a lot of conditioning, physically, mentally and even spiritually to develop and sharpen your boxing skills. Boxing is unique in that it takes place year round; it doesn’t discriminate against age and many often champion the underdog. But, like any individual sport, you are personally responsible for the outcome, so the results you achieve are a direct reflection of what you put into it and so it is with life.

Learning the Ropes:
One on One with the Heavy Bags of Life:

Boxing has reiterated the importance of having "Faith"; reinforced the
significance of training and development (still in training... LOL) as well as strengthened the principles of guiding one’s
life with courage. So, when life throw combination punches at you, one has valuable self-defense techniques that prepare you for the challenges ahead.
Maintenance Work:
Boxing for all practical purposes
is about technique and discipline… But
for me, it has been about endurance and spiritual growth. This has truly been a journey of increasing my
physical readiness for the next level of living and enhancing my personal
relationship with GOD.
