Have you seen this yet?

The movie, "The Blind Side" has got to be one of the most inspiring movies that I've ever seen. The rest of the sports world think so too as it was awarded "Best Sports Movie" in the recent ESPY awards. If you haven't seen it yet, here's a brief summary: the story is about football superstar Michael Oher, and how he got to where he is now. This kid from the ghetto's life was transformed when Leigh Anne Tuohy adopted him, and gave him a real sense of family. He was taught to play football, having only his size as his edge among others players. With the love and support his foster family and his team, Michael was able to attain a scholarship with the school that he wanted to play for.



We can learn so many valuable lessons from this movie that we can apply to our own lives:

· VALUE OF SUPPORT
First, we see the value of support. Every person, in order to succeed, needs the support of those around them. The famous quotation, "No man is an island" encapsulates this idea perfectly. Michael needed the love and support of his foster family and his teammates to boost his morale-and we saw how this worked wonders on him.

· DETERMINATION AND PERSEVERANCE
The value of determination and perseverance were also highlighted in this movie. Michael was a shining example of this in the movie during the times when he was just being taught football, and the times when he was trying to do good in his academics. His determination and perseverance kept him from giving up.

· DISCIPLINE

Michael had to endure major adjustments in his lifestyle because of the drastic changes he experienced. His new training routine, for instance, instilled in him discipline that brought out the best in him as an athlete. This applies to all of us when it comes to achieving goals.


All the values I talked about above are all essential in achieving one's goals. For those of us who want to keep fit and healthy, it's not just about the physical training, it is also about conditioning our minds to reach our goal. In Train Like A Boxer, we provide you training that will surely help you achieve your fitness goals, and will also condition and keep your mind in focus. More importantly, I can assure you that you have my 110% support. After all, Train Like A Boxer is more than just a fitness program, it's a lifestyle.

Boxing for cross- training

Not that Marcin Gortat is similar to Lebron James, but he is definitely a valuable player on the Orlando Magic's bench. In the off- season, he does boxing to improve on his conditioning--- especially his upper body strength and foot speed. What sport do you play? Basketball? Soccer? Football? Tennis? Hockey? The benefits you will get from an intense boxing training program could definitely translate to better performances on your respective sports.

If you are an athlete of any sport, try taking up boxing on your off season. Cross- training for your sport through the TRAINLIKEABOXER program is the way to go. And that starts by going to www.trainlikeaboxer.com and getting the TRAINLIKEABOXER Boxing Training DVD!

Have YOU given up yet?

July 1st signified that we are halfway through the year. Time flies so fast, don't you think? Six months have passed since we welcomed 2010. This is a great time for us to look back and reflect. How was the first part of 2010? Did we stick to our New Year's Resolutions? Did we achieve our goals, or are we still stuck in a rut? Hopefully, you are all looking back at the first half of 2010 with a smile.


If the first half of 2010 has been challenging for you, you need not worry! We still have six more months to go before the year ends.
