Happy New Year everyone!
What a year 2022 has been.
We’ve had success with the fight team, business and welcomed a little member into the pack ❤️
For me (Jack), it’s all been a blur since March/April. Sid was struggling before he arrived and I just couldn’t give the gym the love I’d normally give it.
My priorities changed over night.
But the team pulled together and kept the ship sailing without me. Big Rich, Brandon, Noah and Archie took the reigns and we didn’t skip a beat. Graham, Dave and Rich did everything they could for the boxers.
The fight team won belts and medals. Our schools programme continued to grow and we knocked our community work out of the park (literally). Training over a 1000 kids on local estates and parks throughout the summer.
Training Cave has thrived.
Things have been tough for me personally. I’ll be honest, at times I thought I’d lost my passion. I couldn’t put my finger on it.
But the Christmas break, and talks with my wife made me realise that for the last 5 and a half years I have treated the boxers like my own kids. Without knowing it.
I desperately want them to succeed, not just in boxing but life. I don’t switch off from them. So it was a difficult shift once Sidney arrived. I couldn’t be with the team like I normally would be.
I want to thank everyone for being a part of Training Cave throughout 2022. I might not have always been ‘present’, but Training Cave has. It’s strong for life, like the members and I won’t have it any other way.
Bring on 2023. The team won’t know what’s hit it. We’ve huge plans for our community work and we’ll be bringing in some big sponsors to help us on our mission.
Anyway, it’s my turn for the night shift tonight 👶.(Again). So I’ll catch you all next year. Either at scammy steps on new years morning, in the gym or at a boxing show.
2023 is going to be massive.
