How To Keep Your Gas In A Boxing Match (part 2 of 2)

http://www.bromotravelindo.com

Sit down – You have 3 minutes to face your opponent standing up so when the bell rings for the break, sit down. Unless you are playing mind games against your opponent, trying to show that you are not tired, rest your cheeks on the stool, remove your mouthpiece and breathe properly. This is not the time to waste your energy swashbuckling at your corner. This is the time to listen, take a break from the previous round, listen to your trainer, incorporate some changes to your game plan, rest, and prepare for the next round.

Relax – This is one of the most overlooked but a basic requirement once a boxer steps into the ring. Tensed muscles burn a lot of energy. While it takes some practice and a lot of sparring sessions to remain relaxed during the actual fight, remember that you are the only person who can decide whether you remain tensed or loose while facing up to your opponent. Also, clenching your fists continuously during the fight requires your muscle to work, which wastes energy. Keep your hands loose until the last moment before impact.

Breathe properly – This requires you to be well conditioned. Respiration process burns fuel so the more you suck air into your lungs, the more energy it requires you to release it.

Never eat right before the fight – Digestion burns a lot of energy so unless you are planning to lose, eat long enough before you step into the ring so that the digestion process is done and your energy is used for the fight.

How To Keep Your Gas In A Boxing Match (part 1 of 2)

You often see this: a boxer who are overly aggressive in the first few rounds and then stalls at later rounds because he doesn't have any gas left in his tank. Professional or not, a boxer who loses his energy rapidly that he cannot go any longer and eventually lose the fight. No matter how hard a boxer punches or how strong his chin is, if he has no gas in his tank will likely not win.

That said, it is vital for a boxer to conserve as much energy as he can and use it at the right times. Accept it, your energy is limited, and when you are out of gas, you are out of gas. There should be no argument about that.

So how can you conserve the limited energy you have? Let us take a look at these tips:

Do not do any meaningless movement – Keep your balance but not welcoming punches as a static target. You always want your movement to be unpredictable but that doesn't include jumping around the ring like the jack who just got out from the box. Do not waste your energy on some showboating or impressing the crowd with your new dance moves. Use your energy wisely. Engage when you he is in your striking distance.

Lean on a clinch – Excessive clinching may cost you an important point but if you are engaged in one, lean and press your weight against your opponent. Leaning during a clinch has two purposes: it allows you to rest even for a second and it saps the energy of your opponent. Alternately, do not wrestle or fight if you are on a clinch. Let your opponent push you if he wants to (except into a corner).

Aside from the sports games, there are still other team-building activities that they can participate. It all  depends on the leaders of the youth group. They will be the ones to organize the various activities of the group. So, it is very important that the leaders of the youth group should take an active part in organizing as well as joining the activities.

Some other suggested team-building activities are:

1. Camping
2. Hiking
3. Educational and fun games

The youth can still play kids games. They’re never too old to play games for kids. It’s also one way of playing and releasing tension or stress. Camping can be held in a remote area. The group should be able to help one another in all the daily activities like looking for food, cooking, doing the dishes, and other activities.

While they are camping, they can also go hiking on a nearby hill. The group should always stay close with one another because they are a team of hikers who must protect each other. 

There are also funny educational games that can be played to enhance team spirit. This is a simple way of having fun and the same time learning as well. Camaraderie is very important. If the group is a good team, they can easily achieve their goals. They will have more room for self improvement that can help them when they are no longer members of the group.

Team building plays a vital role in the success of a certain youth group. If the group has this quality, all their activities will be a guaranteed success. So why not encourage your kid to join a youth group? Youth team-building activities are really fun and exciting. Before your kid is affected by peer pressure, let him/her join the right youth group.

Youth Team-Building Activities (part 1 of 2)


It is quite difficult to develop team spirit especially among young individuals. You see, adolescence is a period of exploration. A lot of youngsters are confused and troubled.  One thing that can greatly affect an adolescent is peer pressure. There are times when a certain group of friends will not do any good to your kid. If you want your kid to experience healthy competition among peers, make sure that he or she joins a reputable youth group.

Teenagers often feel alone and that they don’t belong anywhere. This feeling can be changed if you and your kid will be able to find a good group where he or she can join. A group that will readily accept your kid for who he/she is; you see, teenagers don’t like to be judged immediately. They would also like to be recognized for the good things they have done. Being included in a group will make them feel secure and that they belong.

A good thing about youth groups is that they often have team-building activities. What are these team-building activities? Youth groups often have sports games. Some games are played in groups like basketball, volleyball, football, and a lot more. It will be quite fun if the games will be held outdoors or perhaps in a gym. The important thing though is that all the members of the youth group must be present. If the youth group will do well as a team, then they have a long way to go.
