I’m a huge supporter of kids being in sports. I did karate and basketball when I was a kid. I played many other sports with neighborhood kids. What I’m not a fan of is parents trying to mold their kids into pro athletes at such a young age; forcing their kids to participate in sports they might not enjoy. There’s a difference between exposing kids to different sports and trying to live out your dreams through them.

started boxing at 9 years old. Fought beat and loss to Brandon Rios(1-2), Victor Ortiz (1-1), and lost to Demetrious Andrade at golden gloves. By 17 I was so burnt out...I gave up boxing. Over 80 fights in 7 years 58- 22,. When Victor Ortiz won his first world title my dad was like "That could of been you." He stormed off disgusted. I'm 35 now and he still talks about it. Finally told him "I'm not you DAD!" This was last week...hopefully he can let it go.

I would have went down the lomachenko route and made them learn to dance before moving into advanced boxing training once their brains had developed . Getting repeated jarring head blows before the kids brain is finished growing is a big gamble and one I would not take with my boy. He will learn to box and he will spar but only light until I feel he knows what the consequences could be for him n this sport. There is no way a child can grasp what this could do to their future and their brains and potentially even personality .

As long as the kids ACTUALLY want to do this this is actually amazing for them. The discipline is awesome for such a young age. Only thing i will say is try to put them in other sports so they dont get burnt out. I remember being young at 9-10 years old constantly overtraining for baseball. Ended up not really playing any other sports and got burnt out by the time i was 18

It sounds like the husband convinced his wife that somehow if they train hard enough they will “stay safe” when they’re older. She’s lying to herself. Every world champion in every weight class gets punched, dropped, and knocked out eventually. I can count on maybe one hand the amount of champions that left undefeated without significant injury at some point in their careers. Their father is trying to live out his fantasy and dreams through his children. Kids shouldn’t be in sanctioned bouts with blows to the head until they’re at least 16. If they want to fight when they get older there are other safer ways that will save their brains and health for their actual career while they’re developing.

This is so beautiful. Tyler didn't get enough brain damage boxing. Now, he lives vicariously through his kids, who will achieve a level of brain damage Tyler could only dream of, by starting them so young. The most wonderful thing is that you just know Tyler is going to keep training them, keep pushing them, and keep the dream alive until well after the boys are able to dream for themselves. ❤

Waking up at 5am is going to stunt these kids growth., physically and mentally. Sleep is one of the most important elements of recovery, especially at this age. Not speaking without experience, been training elite level boxers for 27 years. Make recovery a key component of their journey or else they will burn out.

Nope. No chance. My boy does judo and boxing. He’s 6. But he’s still a boy. He likes Lego, and playing. These boys when they turn 15/16 will resent their father, and will fall out of love with it all. It happened to me with soccer. It happens to every kid that’s pushed too hard too soon. Let them be boys.

I was a boxer at 8yrs old…..till I was 19. It’s where it starts….young and fearless. I was that kid that loved to fight….the boxing gym or wrestling mat is the best place for kids that like to fight imo….and get in absolutely no trouble at all. They get good discipline and develop good work ethic. It’s No different than a kid that plays football or any other contact sports. The only difference is you don’t play boxing. Before anyone has a snide comment to say about cte …..I’m 50 years old now and a successful engineer.
