I don't have a colourful sporting back ground so it's difficult for me to make suggestions regarding breaking into a new discipline. I do see many people walk through the doors of the club for the first time, and have been one of those people myself. I find the biggest best friend, or worst enemy is just plain old you. The best preparation anyone can bring into the club and keep em coming back is remaining focused and allowing him/her self the right to make many mistakes. I always tell the new people when teacking them how to shadow-box "Believe me, when you do this, it ain't gonna look that sexy, but you'll get there with some time." I'm not sure about other sports, but boxing requires patience. patience. patience. Therefore, I would bring that over cario and and six-pack.
