In Your Corner

   Success in business, victory on the field or in the ring requires a leader who promotes teamwork, tenacity, perseverance and, above all else, the unrelenting desire to win. 








   By chasing the unattainable, perfection; we can catch excellence.. Good coaching can achieve victories but true victory is achieved by changing lives.










 From a young age, we're raised to believe that we can accomplish pretty much anything so long as we work hard enough to achieve it. And, for the most part, that makes sense, at least intuitively. If you study for three hours while your roommate studies for one, you'll probably do better on the test. If you spend 50 hours at work every week while your peer spends 30, you'll stand a better chance of getting a raise or a promotion.




  A cornerstone belief of Western culture is, as long as you work hard, you're going to be successful.The problem with this philosophy is hard work isn't always enough.
Hard work isn't efficient work.  If it takes the person next to you three hours to complete a task that you could have completed in an hour.
Hard work doesn't encourage innovation. You need to try new tactics and strategies, incorporate new ideas and learn new things. constantly.
"Sometimes the teacher, Always the student"
I remember the day I first walked into the gym / dojo and put on the focus mitts first. I warmed up the fighters, one after another, and then followed them around yelling out adjustments while they trained and sparred. I didn’t notice it then but this was my first time in the gym without wrapping up.
In fact, the mitts stayed on my hands the whole time. It wasn’t until the session ended when I realized…“Oh shit, I’m a fight trainer now.”
A part of me died inside that day.
 “I’m still too young! I can still fight!”
I always thought of myself as a fighter. I never fantasized about being a trainer. 
I've learned to coach every fighter differently. It’s about accepting the fighter and accepting his or her results. Some fighters are faster. Some fighters have more power. Some fighters have more stamina. Some fighters will win more than others. Success means different things to different people. For some, success is a gold medal. For others, it’s surviving one whole fight. For many, it’s losing weight and looking sexy.

 Whatever the individual’s goal is, you have to respect that. It is THEIR GOAL, not yours....
