I thought I'd do a surprise attack on Team Blue today. I had told them to come in thirty minutes prior to training so I could help go over hand wrapping with them. I really just wanted to weigh them in but I thought telling them this they may cheat the scale. Whether it was skipping a meal before training or possibly skipping more than one, I wanted a honest weigh-in.
I thought they'd greet my "let's jump on the scale" with frowned eyebrows and excuses but the joke was on me. They were more than okay with my surprise attack with an unscheduled weigh-in.
Yup... that's Team Blue.
They're on par with their training and on par with their weigh-in. They're doing everything I've asked of them and so now I have to up it up a few notches to really give them more, to take them to the next level.
Side note here, one of my boxers has lost about 20lbs so far!!! Crazy awesome!
I've already put it out there that if they want to train with me on Sunday mornings, 8am at Riverdale Park, hill sprints, then they can but I'm thinking about adding something different to their weekly routine.
I was once told by a sports psychologist when I was preparing for a fight that for every hour I put in the gym I needed to put an hour in at my "mind gym". Consequently enough, a book I then turned to for guidance with putting his advice into practice was called exactly that, Mind Gym. So, with regards to Team Blue, I'm thinking about incorporating some team discussion time and reading into their weekly training.
