A Passion for Punching

A Passion for Punching

This is athletic trainer and former pro boxer Andrea Nelson working with a fighter at Ford's Gym in Madison, Wisconsin. She's been training amateur fighters who'll be in the upcoming White Collar Boxing event at the Red Mouse. It's a charity event aimed at raising funds for the Bob Lynch Boxing Foundation in support of training Golden Gloves & Olympic contenders. There will be 9 fights in all. Everyone a match up between people who've chosen to train hard to learn the technical skills of a boxer. As amateurs they're turning up at the gym after leaving work. It's a time most folks are ready to eat a pizza and relax.They work hard too. I was very impressed watching them train last night. A I photographed Andrea at work I could see a person totally in her element. The passion for what she's doing as well as the solid technical advice is very apparent. She's doing what she loves and isn't taking it for granted. Her students' skill progression and zeal for this sport are evidence to this fact.
