Coach of Champions: Eugene Bareman on ‘Voluntary Adversity’

What makes a great fighter and an even better coach? City Kickboxing head coach Eugene Bareman opens up about his journey into fighting, the critical role of self-discipline, and why mental toughness matters more than raw talent. We explore the reality of big paydays, the resilience required to stay at the top, and how he’s helped shape a culture where even the biggest superstars stay grounded. From humble beginnings to putting New Zealand on the global MMA map, this episode is packed with insight, honesty, and the mindset behind building champions.I have a goal to help 100,000 Kiwis improve their financial literacy.
