Good Things Come to Those Who Wait

The buzzer goes off "beeeeeeep", and I know that it is go time. I tap gloves with my sparring partner and immediately go to work. Now three minutes might not sound like a long time, but when you find yourself in the ring after 5 rounds, it seems to last forever. One minute left in the round and my heart is pounding. My head being hugged by my Everlast headgear, shoulders burning from the countless jabs and combos thrown throughout the round, and sides getting torn up with body shots, I fight through it.

Dedication... Just a simple word but it takes you a long way.

If there's one thing I have learned from boxing it is the classic saying "Good things come to those who wait." You always have to remember, Rome wasn't built in one day. When you're in the gym, don't be discouraged if you aren't getting the weight you desire to get or if you look in the mirror and aren't satisfied with what you see. Instead, let this make you hungry to get better. Each and every day. Whenever you feel like giving up, in-vision what you want at the end of the day. Set goals for yourself. After four weeks of these workouts (at least 3-4 days a week, preferably 5 days a week), I GUARANTEE that you will see noticeable results. Six to eight weeks and other people will be shooting you funny looks due to the drastic difference they see in your body. Before you know it, you'll be addicted.
