HOW TO MOTIVATE YOUR BOXERS
Fortunately there are many
programs in this country that allow
boxer participation at many
different levels.
The national governing body of
amateur boxing is USA Boxing
which is responsible for the rules
and regulations of the sport. USA
Boxing sponsors the annual
National Boxing Championships,
National Junior Olympics, National
Sports Festival, Olympic and Pan-
American Game Trials and
Operation Gold and offers
scholarships to deserving boxers.
USA Boxing is headquartered at
the Olympic Training Center in
Colorado Springs and has a staff
of professionals that are supported
by a large national network of
volunteers. The country is divided
into 18 regions, each with a
chairman and are further dissected
into 60 associations each also with
a chairman. It is these volunteers
ESTABLISHED BOXING PROGRAMS
and their love of the sport which are
the backbone of the program.
The Silver Gloves Program is the
premiere event for 10-15 year-old
boxers. It is a superlative program
focused on developing young talent.
The following is a list of programs
with people to contact in reference
to these and other amateur boxing
programs.

MOUTHPIECES
Also very important to the safety of the boxer is a
properly fitted and protective mouthpiece. The
assortment of mouthpieces available today is
overwhelming, so don’t rush into a mouthpiece
purchase until you are sure it provides the protection
you need. You may want to consult your dentist for
some advice. Talking to more experienced boxers can
give you some good input on the subject, too.
Make club T-shirts available for all members to
purchase. It creates pride and is good advertising
for the program. Set up a program
in which your boxers receive a free club jacket
or warm-up after participating in a required
number of bouts—ten to fifteen is a good number
to strive for.
Boxers, like any other athletes, need goals and
objectives to aim for, so consequently it is
necessary to set up a schedule of matches for
your competitive boxers to motivate them to stay
in shape. How long would football players
practice if there were no games scheduled?
Another good idea, especially if you have a good size team, is to support
several local charities such as Muscular Dystrophy, March of Dimes, Etc.
It is good for your boxers to appreciate the fact that there are many who
are less fortunate and need help. It is also great public relations for the
club. Have your team run collectively in some benefit 10K races all wearing
team T-shirts and running as a group.
All of these activities are geared to instill in your boxers the fact that through
work, persistence, diligence and pride, all goals and objectives can be
attained—a very important lesson to learn.
