Is He the Older Brother.

[WayneFlint]

Hes the older brother (joe) scrap, and andre, he doesnt have a favourite fighter, he watches boxing but i dont believe he has found his favourite yet, i know he likes watching though because often hes the 1 telling me when whos fighting who, but this is what ive told him a few times now, he needs to find a fighter, or movements and set ups from fighters that he likes and imitate them, is that what your thinking andre?

Some more info, the latest exchange against his younger brother (sam) is similair to sparr's with others but exagerated, it seems joe would hit the canvas before hurting or embarassing sam, joe has less talent than sam but has been getting a lot more training and help from me the past 6 month as his brother layed off training completely for about 6 month due to a new relationship, joe listens well and works hard in training so i go into more detail with him sometimes, sam is layed back and will come to me when he may feel he has a problem so i dont frustrate him too much with too many rules and orders, just a few really good ones.
i had started training sam 6month before joe, so ive trained them both roughly a year now, joe likes to counter punch and hes in a place now where hes able to not get involved much with sam at all really and not take many bad knocks for it, so he just makes him miss and throws playful jabs to keep him busy, he stays away from inside work completely with sam. sam however likes to box but will come forward aggressivley if anyone, especially joe tests him, doesnt hold back and takes big risks but is mainly concerned with what looks good and winding up big shots lol, Sam trys to imitate my style and rhythme from what hes seen of it, from times ive messed about with him and joe in the ring and once he saw me spar with a local pro but hasnt seen me do much.

Do you think sometimes too much info or nurture can be a bad thing? i do think i have a tendancie to overdo the info or nurture sometimes, even though i know all too well of the traps to fall into with overthinking. i knew it wouldnt workout with sam that way so i took a different approach with him, however most clients i train like i train joe.

i feel like if a fighters in there and hes trained by you then you should have given him every possible tool you can to do the job safely in terms of technique and strategy, if you cant do this then you shouldnt be a boxing coach, boxing involves a lot more than just a personal trainer qualification. however a lot around here feel thats all you need to start charging silly money per hour to tell someone to jab and move their head.
i know how poor the training and little the knowledge i actually recieved when i was competing at international level as a kid and i want to give others the chance i never had, i know there where times when i were completely outclassed and i didnt have a clue why, it was a lonely place to be, now i realise i was in their on my own and i wasnt old enough to use my brain to fight, someone should have been there for me that was. they rely on us to do well and not get hurt, id like them to know everything i know and more.

Sorry babbled on again their, i appreciate any thoughts you guys might have on the matter, so basically, should i keep pushing joe to watch more boxing and find his favourite fighter? or is it a confidence problem? am i overloading his brain with too much info? maybe i should give him time to adapt with what ive given him so far? can you guys see anything else i may have missed?

Theres no such thing, your thoughts

course there is, you weight train your muscles grow, if you stop for a few years you wont go back to your starting point before you weight trained

you wont be as strong as when you first stopped but your muscles will remember some of it

That i believe is largley due to muscle fascia stretch and doesnt last long term only short term, if it was this simple there would be guys walking around with servier imbalances in their muscle structures, i would have a tiny chest and huge 17" arms lol. thank god its not the case, i already have arms like an errangetang lol, id look like a lifesized poppeye then, hehe.

so what are you saying? you stop training your muscles return to their normal size (in time obviously) but you keep the strength?
