Boxing Is More Than Fighting | Ben Thinking Podcast Ep. 157

Ben sits down with Andrew for a conversation on boxing, coaching, athlete development, and what it really means to build skill the right way. Andrew shares how he went from banking to becoming a boxing and strength coach, why he believes fighters need patience, fundamentals, and emotional control, and how boxing is much more than just throwing punches. They also dive into the crossover between boxing and basketball, the role of strength training in combat sports, building trust with athletes, and Andrew’s long-term vision of creating a boxing school that protects the art of the sport while using modern training and science.Connect with Andrew:@123boxingandperformance🕒 Timestamps:00:00 — Andrew returns, coaching boxing, and developing young fighters07:33 — Why Andrew chose boxing and martial arts13:22 — Personal training, strength coaching, and teaching boxing as an art18:02 — Leaving banking and redefining success23:46 — Building a business, patience, and trusting the fundamentals31:33 — Staying out of a coaching silo and learning from other sports35:25 — Boxing, basketball, footwork, pacing, and movement crossover43:12 — Strength training, conditioning, and old-school boxing beliefs46:26 — Weight classes, athlete development, and earning trust as a coach51:45 — Tyson Fury, adversity, and what champions reveal on bad nights54:15 — Andrew’s vision for building a boxing school and culture01:00:02 — Training for purpose, not popularity#PodcastEpisode #BenThinkingPodcast #Boxing #BoxingCoach #StrengthAndConditioning #AthleteDevelopment #CombatSports #MartialArts #BoxingTraining #Fundamentals #Coaching #SportsPerformance #PersonalTraining #HendersonNV #LasVegasFitness #ProtoGym #Mindset #Discipline #FighterDevelopment
