Going the Extra Mile - What H&G Coaches Do

At Honour & Glory, coaching goes beyond pad work and technique. This story shows what our coaches are really about.

The Problem

The night before a competition, one of our junior boxers - Freddy - realised he had no way to get to the venue. No lift. No transport. It looked like he'd have to miss the bout.

Coach Anton messaged him directly: "Can you get to the gym? I will take you there and back."

That's it. No drama. Just a coach solving a problem so a young boxer could compete.

More Than Boxing

This isn't unusual at H&G. Ellen and Anton regularly go out of their way for the members:

• Driving across South London to pick up boxers for competitions
• Opening the gym during holidays when members want to train
• Staying late to work with juniors who need extra attention

When Ellen was stuck in traffic on the A2, running late to a competition because she'd picked up Freddy, nobody complained. That's just what H&G coaches do.

The Result

Freddy made it to the competition. He boxed. The whole team performed.

And that's the H&G way - we look after our own.
