Exactly one year ago today I was just getting home from the hospital with two calcaneus fractures! The doc told me it would take at least a year to be healed . I was delusional and thought I’d be back in a month after my accident a year later I’m about 75% healed I’d say. I just started running and my Achilles swells up after. Some days after a long day of coaching I’m limping. The purpose of this post is.... BE PATIENT! I believe my recovery is taking a bit longer because I tried to rush back too fast. #trusttheprocess #bepatient#injuriessuck#boxing#athlete

I totally meant to post this pic Saturday before the Tyson vs Jones fight I’m a little latebut! Here we are in 2015 #legend #royjonesjr #fightnight... #boxing #fighter #trusttheprocess See more

Throw back to Halloween when I did handpads with a Trex #gymfun #bestdayever #boxing... #thecomeback #trusttheprocess See more

Throwback Thursday to my fighting days....I will NEVER have these abs back..and im okay with that

Some light pad work with @pitterpatterpayter All masked up of course Feels good to have a little normalcy in this crazy time even though I almost suffocate while doing it... Im doing privates and following all guidelines to keep myself and my clients safe #fuckcovid #newnormal #boxing #staysafe #work #fitness #trusttheprocess

So Ayva RARELY comes to me and asks to hit hand pads! She's not into any sports right now and isn't showing too much interest (makes me cry a little inside) but! Im learning a lot as the years pass about being a mom and the main thing is... to let her find her path...dont force it or make her feel like she 'has to do it to make me proud'. Im learning to let go and let her do her. Ill support her 100% even if that means she takes up knitting I would be lying if I said I didn't have dreams of her becoming some all star athlete...but thats my dream (selfish!)..not hers...shes got her whole life ahead of her to find 'her thing' but she will find it without my coaxing, only my love and support

Are Sundays for homework? Because im already over it and I just started... #procrastination #upgrading #backtoschool #offtocollegesoon... #levelup #dontsettle #biggerthingscoming #career #dream #workhard #boxing #coach #highperformance #goals See more

The JAB! The most important punch in boxing There are many ways to throw this punch but the first way you will learn to throw it is: -Full extension though the shoulder which gives you more range as well as protects the chin -slight draw back of rear shoulder (keeping rear hand on the chin!) as you throw the jab to give you more momentum... -push off rear leg to get maximum power This should be perfected and focused on A LOT. Having a solid jab will be extremely beneficial in sparring or fighting because not only is it the closest punch to your opponent but it sets up your combos, its your measuring stick and your defence. #boxing #defence #offence #punch #fighting #practice #repitition #trusttheprocess

Look who's home!We tried to embarrass her by making her this sign and being super obnoxious and it worked I will be taking a week off so I will not be in the gym until September 14! I hope everyone is ready for her to be in there again bossing people around #happymom... #backtoreality #stayingsafe #pandemicssuck #gym #boxing #fitness See more
