need serious help

[potatoes]

i started boxing about 10 months ago and it was all going fine until i had to spar for the first time, i was scared to hit the other guy because i thought if i hit him his gonna hit me back even harder, so i got my ass kicked, anyway since then i got put off of sparring, i sparred other less experienced people but when i have to step into the ring with the 1st guy i sparred with, i start making excuses such as forgot my gumshield and start feeling sick and sometimes remember what happend, anyways its been 6 or 7 months since that and started sparring again but still before i get into the ring i feel nervous and sort of sick/choking but when i get in it all goes away, but i will need to step up my opposition at sometime and cant go on like this, so what should i do? i think i should step into the ring and face my fears.

also another problem i have is when i sparring im doing ok but when the other guy starts pputting pressure on me or starts doing combos and backs me up to the ropes or corner i sort of start panicking and try to block it by turning around.

any help would be grately apreciated i know my problem is more mental than physical.

I'm not saying you are wrong because your not, I am saying that he needs concentrate on the basics first and get used to the sparring experience to build his confidence.

Obviously it would be better to get some lateral movement as well but it seems that he is struggling to put it all together therefore you strip back the layers and build confidence.

I have seen this a hundred times over the years and manage to get most of my boys through it!
