Just recently I had a few pairs of target mitts, focus pads, donated to Empowered for the Lil' Sistas so today I brought them today for the girls to use. I know not all the girls are into boxing or into sports for that matter so I try to give little jobs and roles to those who are as such. Whether it's being the DJ and doing the music, helping with the equipment or being the camerawoman, I try to get everyone involved.
Today I added a new role to the list -- pad holder.
I didn't think a lot would volunteer to do the role but surprisingly enough, many put their hand up and waved it eagerly, all hoping I'd pick them. I picked ten of them for the job and then designated two of them to hold my personal pair of target mitts that are a little more advanced for them to use. I had one of my team coaches use a pair and then another girl who usually asks to be my camerawoman.
My assistant Belle came with me today and today almost all the girls were present.
We had a little over 40 Lil' Sistas for boxing today, 10 pad holders, 2 team coaches, 1 assistant, 30+ fighters, and me, the main coach.
