Um, what makes an adaptable boxer in your mind?

What makes an adaptable boxer? Okay.

Um, that's an interesting question there because it's a similar question to, you know, what is skill? Um, you know, I was asked what skill is and I've heard people answer this question and I don't really know which one, I don't really have this kind of thing that I could write down and say is this, but adaptability.

When you box, there's so much variability, I mean, a ridiculous amount of variability that can happen.

And some boxers are just able to handle that variability.

So orthodox, southpaws, speed, strength, you know, so they have all these physical components, which is a big part of boxing, right? The physical capacities of someone is a massive part of that.

and you have to have those physical capacities but i think what makes someone adaptable is their and without sounding too fluffy their perceptual skills their ability to to read and whether that's something that is how cognitive that is i don't know um but i do think people are able to just attune to the environments so and again i don't want to sound like i'm coming up with the lovely words you know right the cla words the ecod words right because who am i i'm a boxing coach but i truly believe from my experience as an ex-boxer as well i boxed for 12 seasons an amateur and i had 45 fights i was okay it wasn't brilliant i was okay right i knew from my experience that I could have been a hell of a lot better if I was put in environments where I had to read different opponents, solve different problems, but I had one or two sparring partners, both of who were lighter than me, so having to deal with the physical capacities wasn't a problem for me, and I got used to them.

Sure, yep.
