By Thomas Gerbasi - The notes are piling up, but Chris Algieri keeps them all. Ever since he put on the gloves as a teenage kickboxer, the Long Island junior welterweight has jotted down everything when it comes to his daily routine, from the techniques he practiced to the food he ate. It’s as big a part of his fighting career as the rounds he puts in, and he’s not about to stop now.
“I try to get an idea of what made me feel good and what makes me feel best, and also how I felt during a session,” he said. “If I felt really fit and really strong that day, I try and look back and analyze to see why. It helps me to self-analyze and self-assess how my training is going, so the next time I don’t even have to think about it. At this point, it’s almost autopilot.”
Eleven years of note taking will do that for you, and despite being on the verge of big things like an ESPN2 Friday Night Fights headlining gig against top ten-ranked Emmanuel Taylor this week, Algieri continues to look backward in order to help him move forward. [Click Here To Read More]
