Past the Ring: What Boxing Teaches
October’s boxing events will deliver excitement. But the real change is happening within the boxers themselves. Boxing is more than physical strength.
Life Lessons From the Ring:
- Discipline: Organising each day builds mental determination.
- Focus: Boxers learn to control their judgement capacities under pressure.
- Confidence: Particularly motivated tall schoolers wrapped up innovators through boxing.
- Respect: The wear affects common regard, without an address between rivals.
These values remain with the competitors for a long time. In fact, a few past state champions are trying to build the boxing culture in the state.
