Can't Motivate Myself

[Suckmedry]

You won your first 15 in a row?! That is very impressive in the amateurs, and assuming you fought good fighters, that is really impressive.

You shouldn't worry about confidence or motivation at all, if you have a 15-2 record you are probably a very capable fighter. Get in there and go hard.

Mate, keep ya head up, you have just got to train your ****ing hardest, train until you have to cry, then you will know why you wanna box, and you will get your confidence and motivation back. Just think that you are an unstoppable object.

some time of could acctually benefit u in this situation, once u start missing boxing u will get that hunger back. u should know that this happens to every great fighter who ever lived, taking losses aswell as losing motivation. ask yourself what u want from boxing and how badly u want it, taking some time of might put things in perspective as u do so.

Do something else if you're sick of boxing.

Boxing is not for everyone you are not strong enough for it and will get hurt half assing it. Only the very strong can cope with boxing. Move on seriously. Dont be embarassed you are not the first quitter and wont be the last little *****.

Actually, this is just a temporary meeting of the sudden change in any environment will bring you strong impact, you want you to the process of good, I believe you will succeed.

I'd like to thank everyone who took the time to read and reply to my post, in all honesty this is one of the first times that I've sat in front of my computer for quite some time. It's been extremely warming and heartening to read some of the encouraging words people have left.

I'm scheduled to fight again in two weeks, I've been training my ass off leading up to this one. I took my concerns to my coach and basically flat out told him that I didn't think I was getting my money's worth out of the gym anymore. He went off on me, but funnily enough he's been training me on a one-on-one basis ever since.

I'm pumped for this fight, we spoke about my prospects and what I want to take from my boxing and we've both agreed that I have the potential to aim for a pro career.

Again, thanks for the kind words everyone who posted...I'll keep you updated on my training/fights.
