Praising a Boxer as a Corner Man

Video Transcript

"In our next itinerary what we want to talk about is while you are working that corner for the men in between make sure you are praising your boxer. Your boxer could be losing. He may never win this fight, but he does not need to go back out there and think that. You do not want to lie to the boxer, but it is easy enough even if a boxer is losing to pick up on the points that he is good at. There has got to be something that he is doing right out there and you need to praise him on that. You need to send him back out there with the ability at least mentally that he can win this fight. We are going to show you some praising in the corner now. Nick, round is over! Come on Nick. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. Go ahead and sit down on the side. You are doing real fine, Nick. Your jab is coming off real nice. Your letting your hands go, wait to let your hands go. Extend them out and you are doing really good. I want you to follow out. You are doing fine. You are doing real good. You are working on everything that we worked on in the gym together and you are looking real good out there. Go ahead and lean back. Keep your hands up, your chin down, and double up on your jabbing and you have won this round. Your boxer might actually think that he is losing, he might actually express to you that he is losing. You are doing good. So Nick do you think you are winning that fight? You are doing great, just keep doubling up on the jab. Put the right hand up behind it, chin down and own the center of the ring. Let him come to you. You are doing fine. You are looking real good. Okay, that is good. Just praise your boxer. Make sure he goes back out there with a positive attitude."
