Today was my birthday, and I received warm hugs from David, his cousin Darlene, and David's mom. Darlene showed up earlier than usual, so she and David sparred. My Spanish is not that good, but I could pick out that David's mom was telling both him and Darlene to be serious while they were in the ring. The kids were giggling throughout the three rounds they sparred.
Kody came in, but as usual, not much of a workout was done. "I've been in boxing two years, right?" he asked me. "No, it's been less than a year," I answered. Then Kody pointed out that he had been signed up a few sessions before along with his brother Kyle and his cousin Deshaun. It still hasn't been two years, just a little over a year.
A new kid who is signed up for the the winter session came in, and he has some skills. He explained that he had been boxing from time to time with one of his cousins who boxes. It did not take him long to get the concept of the punches. Now all I have to do is help fine tune the skills he has.
I met the person who is the head of the area where the field house sits in. "So you are the only female boxing coach with the park district?" she said. She wants to come by sometime and observe the class. I hope there are enough participants during whatever time she stops in so she can get a good idea of what goes on.
