I did it. I started training with a new coach, a pro boxer I just met this past Saturday. Today we met at 1:30pm, downtown, and he put me through quite the intense training. It was awesome though I must admit I was pretty much on the verge of peeing my pants leading up to us training together because of excitement but also anxiety.
I have no one to compare my boxing level with and no one to compare my boxing training style with because I train so early in the morning at the club when no one else is there and because there are no other pro boxers at my club. Even if there were other pro boxers though, they're not there when I train. I can only compare my skills and style to that of Korean boxers in Korea.
But I did it. I did what he told me to do, tried to test out things he told me to try, and really tried to show him what I as a professional boxer was made of. He said he was happy with what he saw and though I don't doubt my skills I was uncertain as to what he was expecting from me because I am a professional boxer who has her own club and coaches now here in Canada. I knew I had a lot to prove with today's first training session together and I was so very grateful for him even taking the time to feel me out today with my boxing. He stood with me as I waited for the bus after training and I was just busting at the seams with excitement. Training with him today just felt so right.
Now the next thing to do is set up a training schedule and let my current coach know.
I am leaving my coach; I am leaving my club.
