It’s NOT all about me? (part one)

Posted by on May 19, 2010 in Blog, Jaime's Gym Rant | 0 comments

I’ve been wanting to write about this subject forever, why I haven’t is beyond me.  One of the biggest problems my coach (and husband) has with me, any many other boxers he trains is their “it’s all about me” mentality.  I can see where he’s coming from. He’s running a gym, he’s coaching a team.  His time is spread out between everyone in the gym and he makes most of his decisions based on what’s best for the team, not necessarily the individual boxer.  And...

Can eat, can’t eat…

Yesterday I was siting around in my gym when Dave presented me as the knowledgeable waterfall of information about nutrition.  Immediately the was a group around me asking me all about what they could and couldn’t eat.  I tried to explain to them that it wasn’t really what you couldn’t eat – well, okay it is – but also very much how you go about eating, when and what you eat.  I’m planning on covering all this in my next blogs post.  But again they kept pressing me with question;...

Girls CAN’T beat up boys!

Now, if you just read my last blog post, where I was bashing the brains out of the male race, calling them babies and wimps, then all of you men who were so pissed of by that post will LOVE this one…  because I do indeed think women CAN’T beat up Men. Dave made an interesting point the other day when he was talking about his job as a bouncer.  He said that when dealing with rowdy people at the bar the men were always easier to reason with then the women.  He said the the women always went on to...

What is with men in boxing?!

Okay, I am seriously going to get into way to much trouble writing this, but I have had enough.  I know people are gonna single me out as a feminist bitch (which I am) or a total dumb blond (which I am not), or even a ranting, raving lunatic (which is quite possible), but this is a subject that I just HAVE to cover: What is with MEN in boxing?  When did men afford to become such babies in a sport that screams manliness!  In my 4 years involved in this sport I’ve met more women who have more balls then any...

“Yes” is the only answer

Posted by on Apr 7, 2010 in Blog, Jaime's Gym Rant | 1 comment

Over the last three years that I’ve been boxing I’ve been through a very interesting journey with my coaches.  One of my coaches is my husband, and the other is his best friend, and a good friend of mine.  When I first started boxing, what my husband/coach, Dave told me was GOLD.  It was the absolute, 100% truth.  It was the word of God! But once we were married, and after I’d been boxing for a year and was having a fairly successful boxing career I began to to doubt what Dave told me,...
