If you're not a quitter, and you truly do love it..then why quit? Look at it like a relationship that just went through a bad year. Relationship being your analogy for it. From what I hear, they often take some work and compromise. Now your partner here, boxing...hasn't really been living up to it's end of the deal, and not meeting your boxing needs, correct? But has it not also given you much?

I could be wrong, but I think you are making this post because you might be experiencing a knee jerk reaction and fearing you're going to regret it. If you still feel there is a chance, and as you say, do love it...then maybe try setting some guidelines and a target date. Like this...

"Hey boxing, this is the deal. Not happy with the way things are, but I care about you and want them better. So if you want to stick around, you have 1 year to get your shit together and start treating me right. Or we are parting ways..."

Thanks guys. Youngblood, your post made me chuckle. Good stuff. I'm going to give it some thought, and make a decision. My coach is a good guy, just clueless. He's never had anyone be so serious about it before, so he doesn't have a lot of experience taking boxers beyond 5 or 6 bouts.

haha I'm sorry. I know girls think and see things differently then guys. I went straight to my 3 times of viewing Dr. Phil on that post.

It was good advice though.

It is always good to get another opinion Youngblood

yeah I don't want to telegraph my experiences onto you so i'm sorry if i'm doing that.

I don't want to insinuate that you should quit but i do think you shouldn'y be a doormat in your bad relationship either.

I think that was the mistake i made and i think you can do better.

I'm glad you're here to give me advice. Women's boxing is a lot tougher row to hoe sometimes and you understand that.

You're right that I need to be more vocal about what I need. My coach and I are meeting to workout tomorrow night, just us two so I'll have a chat with him then.
