So my guys started without me last night, just some light shadow boxing and such. They look ok, but somehow listless: I dunno, not like fighters, but more bored fifth graders.
I stop practice, get everyone to grab their books and pads, and run them to the middle of the oval. We drop the stuff, and get I them to run. A full sprint up the oval(2 minutes), boxing backward to the starting point, and again, till they do five loops.
Then we did it again, except their partners were trying to hit them as they shuffled backwards.
Next, it's bare knuckle sparing, on the
grass, with shoes on. One-on-one, two-on-one, three-on-one.
Then it's more drills, then more running.
Finally, we finished with 4 sets of 75 pushups.
To a man, they loved it: They want to meet out there from now on. Now, I know
how they feel, but I don't know
why.
Why is it that we're so happy pushing ourselves? And if we are happy doing so, then why don't we do it more often?
