Injury Blues
During sparring I twisted my ankle twice over the last 3 weeks. Much to my frustration, this second sprain is healing slower. Instead of moping about my injury I’ve been doing some research on ankle injuries which I’ll post this week.
I’ve spent my time working on tucking my chin and covering with my shoulder on my straight right and developing my overhand right. I’ve also been watching film of great boxers that attacking their opponent then exit at angles where it’s safer (this generally requires your opponent to pivot before following).
Even when injured you can always ask yourself, what drills can I do? What new skill can I spend this extra time on? Even if you’re in a full-body cast you can always watch film…
