Anxiety in the gym

[Youngblood]

I am hoping that if I am able to conquer these insecurities in the gym, that it will translate into everyday life.

This is the thing that boxing gives to people more then anything else. Whether you are there to compete, for conditioning, wanting to learn a bit of self-defense, socialization...

More often then not, be it by design or decision or pure happenstance, if you stick it out, you often will be finding yourself conquering personal demons, obstacles, and otherwise difficult things that find their way into the gym, from the main streams of our lives.
