LITERAL
(a) I, Alfredo Nunez, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work
(b) The sources that helped me complete the 30 hours of work were coach Bernard Roberts and pro boxer Antonio Moya, at Fist of Gold boxing gym.
(d) At the gym I partook in all the training necessary to participate and win an amateur boxing match, this includes training on the punching bag, with the coach in various different strategies, weight training, agility training, running, and sparring.
INTERPRETIVE
All the training I went through is what all my answers are composed of, many components of training include exercises that help refine skills that are needed to win a boxing match. The skills all make up certain answers to my EQ.
APPLIED
By teaching my what I need to do to win at the gym and in the ring, I was able to understand what I needed to answer in my EQ. Which was "What is most important in winning an amateur boxing match." Sparring allowed me to see what areas I needed work on and what other fighters had refined that I had not that allowed them to have an advantage over me. After a spar I had a debrief with the coach and he would tell me what I needed to improve and how to do it, by assigning me different workout methods; be it on the weights or on the speed or punching bags.

Blog 14: Independent Component 1
Literal:
I, Alfredo Nunez, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.
I give credit to my coach, Bernard Roberts (Bernie), for training me daily, and teaching me most everything I know.
The thirty hours of work will be taken from the spreadsheet that contains the hours of mentorship.
During training, I learn the techniques it takes to be a great fighter. With the help of my coach, I do exercises that help strengthen my body, mind, and technique over all. I also often find myself helping the people who are just starting to train with their basics, such as stance, wraps, shadow boxing, etc. I also spar often in order to learn what I need improvement with and how I can become a better fighter.
Interpretive:
Everyday I go train, the gym opens at Five and closes at Eight, I always try to get there no later than 5:30 and stay from 2-3 hours depending on how demanding the day is. If I spar, i usually try to conserve energy for the spar, as it will be three three-minute rounds (sometimes more sometimes less) of the same stuff i would be doing, only much more rigorously, quickly, and powerfully. I mentioned in an earlier blog post that spars can get out of hand and this is still true, but a spar is meant to train you for the reality of the ring, so trainees often give it most of their all, but slow down when necessary. As mentioned earlier I also help new people with training, I teach them the basic stance of a boxer, and how he or she will move once in the stance and how they must return to said stance to provide balance and a strong base for releasing adequate punches. I have taken videos of training sessions as well as spars, but Blogger doesn't allow me to post them through their site, so I will post them elsewhere and leave a link on this post. I will update that later.
Applied:
With every person I teach, i myself learn and improve my knowledge of the basics of boxing. This is important to understand since a good foundation is necessary to becoming a great fighter ( An idea my coach stresses A LOT.) One example of how the independent component helped me improve my base is: since my coach has slightly more trust in me that most of our "little team" he often sends me to help out new comers. The last was a boy named Brian who had never really trained before and he asked me to train him since he liked how I had taught him at a past time. I taught him how to stand properly and employed techniques mentioned in my research to help him improve his stance. I also showed him the basics of slipping by showing him how to use the rope ( a contraption we have set up in our gym that has a rope that can be moved to different heights) and in doing this I myself caught minor mistakes I was doing in my technique, I promptly corrected them and continued to help him. He now often asks me for help and enjoys learning from me a little more than my own coach. Training daily helps me get into the groove of the lifestyle that is boxing; one that is very demanding, athletic, and empowering.

Blog 7: Independent Component 1 Approval
1: Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours.
For the thirty hours, I will be training for a fight (No set date yet) I will continue training with my coach and first interview, Bernard Roberts. I will also be tracking running times, necessary for endurance and stamina in a fight, with increments on distance and reduction in time over the period of time training to show improvement. I will also be tracking weight and body fat to show improvement as well. I suppose, since boxing is a way of life and not just a sport, i could also keep a meal log to show what i was eating that encouraged muscle mass and fat loss.
2. To show proof of the thirty hours I will continue tracking on the mentorship log (In the links section on the right) which is a log of everyday that I train. I will also add a log of my timed runs which will contribute to the thirty hours.
3. Training will help me get a feel of what boxers and fighters do on a daily basis. It will show me how demanding the way of life of boxing is and will prepare me to fight in an amateur contest, and hopefully win.
