Hello all,
My name is Greg and I'm a 21 year old college student looking to get into boxing. I don't really want to do it super competitively or as a means to make ends meet (I'm a finance major yo); but more as a way to stay in shape, compete, and have some fun. I have never boxed for a second in my life, so in that arena I am obviously very inexperienced, but I am no stranger when it comes to athletic competition.
I was a 5 sport athlete in high school and had offers to play football and run track at several "smaller" universities, but chose to do the bigger school route and focus on my academics and career goals. I live in Fort Worth, Texas right now and have found a nice little gym that is fairly inexpensive and works specifically with amateurs.
I was wondering what advice you guys had for someone like me... let me give you some vitals and pros/ cons
Age:21
Height: 5'9" (69 inches)
Weight: 148lbs
Pros:
Devastatingly Quick
Not afraid to get hit
Loves to hit
Decent weight for my height
Cons:
Endurance problems
History of Concussions
Small body density (smallish bones, more lean than muscular)
