Get to Know Coach Ravi: An Exclusive Interview and Insight into His Journey

Hello everyone!

In the world of boxing and fitness, every individual has a unique journey and story to tell. Today, we invite you to step into the world of Coach Ravi, who became a part of our close-knit family in January. If you’ve ever wondered about the motivations and inspirations that drive a coach’s journey, you’re in for a treat.

1) Why did you pick up Boxing?

“I started boxing because I wanted to learn a form of self-defense.”

2) Who is your Favourite Boxer?

“I don’t have a favourite boxer. But if I have to really pick one person, it would be Sugar Ray Leonard because of his incredible footwork, fast combinations & power.”

3) What does KOS mean to you?

“KOS has always given me a lot ever since the day I joined them as a trainee. KOS will always be my happy place regardless of what the future may hold for me.”

4) What makes up a good boxer according to you?

“To be a good boxer you need to master your basic footwork, have fast hands, and have a good fitness level.

In my opinion, you need to have a STRONG HEART especially if you are planning to compete. You need to have the heart to fight and go forward, no matter how many times you get knocked down. That STRONG HEART is what will get you going when the going gets tough. ”

 

5) What keeps you going as a Coach each day?

“The trainees are the main reason I keep pushing myself to be a better Coach every day. Seeing them achieve their goals and get stronger day by day gives me a sense of happiness.”

6) Give a nickname for your coaching style.

“The Motivating Coach. I choose this because I always push my trainees to not only be better boxers in the ring but to also be a fighter in life. Also, to constantly push themselves and never give up no matter what life throws at them.”

7) A quote for our readers?

“Why stop with one? Haha. I always tell myself these 3 things:

• “Be stronger than yesterday.”
• “Sweat more in training so that you don’t bleed in combat.”
• “Don’t go looking for war but if it comes to you, face it head-on.”.”.

8) What are the struggles you face as a Coach?

“Trainees not giving their best during training even though they can do it.”

 

 

9) Someone you look up to?

“I look up to my father a lot because when I was young he taught me to face my problems no matter how big they were.”

10) Share a secret about yourself.

“I am camera shy. Tell me to get in the ring and fight someone, I will do it without hesitation or fear regardless of what the outcome might be.

But tell me to take a picture or a video, I actually get very nervous and become very cautious of my surroundings!”

Ever wondered about your coach’s world? Instead of them asking all the questions, I decided to turn the tables. This post is all about Coach Krishna – the person, the inspiration, and the secrets behind their coaching success. Get ready to dive in and uncover the intriguing world of Coach Krishna!

 

1) Why did you pick up Boxing?

3) What does KOS mean to you?

“Hmm… I actually started off as a regular intern, looking forward to finish it with a good note. However, during this process the people I’ve met through coaching made me realise that this is definitely more than just finishing it up. I felt that this place was more like a home than just work. Thanks to my colleagues for making me feel this way!”

“The trainees & their goals! I try my best to cater to each individual trainee and their own fitness goal. Therefore, I take it as a challenge & look forward to coming up with different exercises and ideas to help them in this process. And, of course, seeing them finally achieve their goals makes me even more motivated and want to continue this journey as a coach.”

 

 

6) Give a nickname to your coaching style?

“Hahah! Maybe I should call myself ‘The Quiet One!'”

He said it with a smirk on his face!

FACT: I didn’t ask him to mention my name! LOL
