I cried after a sparring session....

[Terror Child T8]

yes its a typical trainer thing to do. you see trainers look for talent, and as well as giving its inevitable you will recieve alot of shots as well. your trainer isnt ****** and new you were gonna get your arse whupped, its how you dealt with it which is what he wanted to see, he already new the result, he just want to see your reaction.

honestly and truthfully trainers dont like wasting there time with kids who just go to boxing gyms to "keep fit" or to feed theit male ego, i seen guys cry at my gym and till this day i havent seen my trainer do pad work or anything with them once since.

even if you cry but say *** it lets go another round, you will get your props, but crying and then not showing up for a further 2 sessions just looks like you got your arse whupped and your too scared to return

Yep everyone else is right, your coach is just seeing how you react.
A few months ago i was put in with a really big fella must of had 30kg on me. Anyway he has an amazing work rate and didnt stop coming at me and he landed so many clean hard hits on me i was dazed in the ring. After that sparring I did go out of the gym and cry because i was disappointed in my performance but it didn't stop me going and i was back the next day which gave my coach a big boost of confidence in me as he knew i knew what i had done wrong and in my opinion it just makes you wanna work harder.

no no

after that weep, i just took two classes off, from physical pain, and recovering mentally, by the time i knew it i went back, my coach was glad to see me back, and he's puttin me in sparring again. i won't ever be crying again, i' felt it the first time i feel stronger mentally, and i've toughened up.

P.S - i'm still surprised over how many users went through what i went through
and said nothing, i guess it was just time, until someone said it and i did,
and ppl are responding like crazy.

My coach took me to another gym and put me in with a lad who was well known to be v.aggressive with sparring - cheating aswell. He did everything, head butt, low blow, clinch throughout - he was a good 15kg's more than me. The reason? "Because you're one day in the ring going to have to face with someone/thing as aggressive or mean or horrible as him. Best face it now in a controlled area.

Bad thing was, i kicked off in the sparring. Swearing at him, calling him a "****ing idiot" for trying to break my arm. As soon as i got out, i wish i'd kept my cool.

[NaThBoiii]

Why did you wanna keep your cool? did you get knocked the **** out after? Only joking

[Flab]

Used to get the same treatment while playing football (soccer) stuck in with full grown men who gave me some hard knocks. The only difference is, that I quit and you kept going at it.

[Feint]

Don't worry about it. Sometimes we all are on the loosing end, whether its sports or anything else in life. You tears were a result of your passion, and that isn’t a necessarily a bad thing. Character comes from how we handle those experiences so use this as a learning experience. You will be just fine.

Haha you *******

[FlaminGuru]

Haha you *******

lol i sure am

[SOY-COMO-SOY]

ya thts right i cried after getting my ass kicked. I wasn't crying like "crying" i was tearing up, sniffing and trying to hold it in.

My coach put me in sparring against a guy whose been doing it for atleast one year, but i've been doing it for 2 weeks (10 classes) and i sparred a lot of people and did great, like my coach said i had loads of potential, but this one guy whose close to 6'0 and weighed about 140 LB and i was just 5'6 weighing only 115LB, just tore me down to pieces, it wasnt an ass kick, it was a massacre! anyways, after the sparring session, i was ok, but then i let go my tears and my coach tried to confront me and so did the guy i sparred with, not to mention there were only 3 people in the gym (thank god), and they were supportive of me to.

Anyways i don't know why i'm sharing this, but, i'm not an emotional person, i wasnt hurt physically, i was drained mentally, and it hurt my pride. But i'm taking this beat down and using it as a motivation and try even hardder next time.

Btw i'm 15.....ya make fun of me if u want lol, call me a softy, *****, i know...iknow....*hahah he got his ass kicked and now he's crying hahaha*

So im taking it as you were crying out of frustration. this has happen to me a couple of times in my life and i now this has happen to almost everybody

If i was you I wouldn't give it much thought. The guy was bigger than you, and the only reason you cried is cuz you were so frustrated.

my coach puts some people in mix-match sparring, either to give the fighter a reality check or to boost a fighters self-confidence. I just hope that yoru coach or that guy you were sparring w/ dont tell other people in your gym cuz they wont listen to your side of it, they will just laugh but dont sweat it
