The importance of effort and consistency in boxing training, consistency in any type of activity and any type of training is maybe to most important characteristic to have!
Talent is something that is only gained from being consistent and although some people believe you are born talented at Apollo’s Boxing we believe that talent is gained from effort and consistency!
After over a decade of training people from all areas of life we have come to recognise that the people who achieve any sort of success do so because of effort and consistency and not because of some god given talent, now we are not saying some people don’t have better genetics to achieve more in any sport like boxing but you could have the best genetics in the world and if you do not turn up to classes you do not as fast as someone who turns up to every boxing class, puts one hundred per cent effort in and goes home and watches boxing and does some extra training at home!
In all the years of coaching we have witnessed friends coming in together and starting boxing for the first time and in our experience the friend who doesn’t pick it up as fast usually tries harder and does more classes and eventually takes over his more talented friend!
We have coached many north west amateur boxing champions and some national champions and also some very high level MMA fighters including a current MMA world champion and they all share the same characteristic – they always turn up and they always try hard when their there!
All of the above mentioned MMA fighters and amateur boxers have continually applied effort and consistency whether they have won there boxing or MMA fights or have lost them!
It’s pretty simple really to be good at something if you continually turn up and try hard you will improve and eventually take over someone who not applied the same principles!
At Apollo’s Boxing in Bolton we are always trying to reinforce this idea that it’s not the most naturally talented that eventually becomes the best but the boxer who turns up and try’s hard, as always there will be an anomaly or an exception to this rule but on a whole this is pretty much the secret to getting better at Boxing!
We do not just teach our boxers how to box in our boxing classes and our boxing one to ones but we also like to teach them about the mentality of boxing training and boxing bouts because we feel it is easy to be put off when your first start training and someone may originally faster at picking up the boxing techniques!
