Hi Laura - I'm a new subscriber. I happened to see the profile on you before your tournament in October. I fight out of BoxSmith, so was there to cheer on one of our fighters and also saw your fight. (Congratulations!). I fought in Haymakers 4 Hope a week before your fight, and I find your insights here to be on point to how I've been feeling lately. Really enjoying the newsletter - thank you!
Loved this! Tennis swing similarly isn’t just about the arms and the people who try to go for power purely from their arms end up fatigued way too fast. Gotta build from the ground up like you said about punching!! Also the Florida heat misses you too!!
Welcome to the gym. What a great sentence for so much of what goes on in life--writing, training, all of it. As an athlete who writes (or a writer who does sports), I'm going to hold onto this sentence as an invitation to every day's work!
This is just what I needed to read right now. So many great reminders. 🖤
I'm so glad this landed!

Thank you so much for reading, Brenda. Hope we cross paths irl at some point!

Yessss!!! This sounds just like boxing.

I'm so glad that line landed with you!
Loved this. You do such a great job at relating boxing to writing.
Thank you!
