Coach Ian – Week in Review: What I’m looking into: Levels Health: As many of you know, I’ve been experimenting with a CGM (continuous glucose monitor) to track my blood sugar levels throughout the day, tracking how it changes in response to stress, HIIT training, steady-state cardio, nutrition, fasting, and more. Well, Levels Health (not publicly available yet) has an app that monitors that data and assigns you a “metabolic health score”. It is really interesting to see this kind of data being use for athletic performance and overall health, rather than in response to metabolic dysfunction. With these analytics,… Read More »Coach Ian – Week In Review: 08/16/2020

Share of the Day: Hand-Eye Coordination Drills for Boxing

Today’s share of the day is a simple hand eye coordination drill. Hand-eye coordination is really important for boxers..   I used to take our team to a place called Sensory Speed where it was all reaction and cognitive training, with things like a Dynavision board (think wack-a-mole while someone’s giving you math problems) or Fit Lights.

This past weekend marked the 2nd Annual Dreamland Boxing Master’s World Championship, a two day tournament hosted by Dreamland for Masters fighters (age 35+) all over the world. In the two years that we’ve hosted the tournament, we’ve had participants from USA, Australia, Canada, Austria, Russia, England, Germany, Argentina, and all over the US! Due to how difficult it is to get matched up, many of these fighters travel to compete and do it for the pure love of the sport. Many come without coaches and are assigned one at registration. I volunteered to help and ended up working 35… Read More »Dreamland Boxing Masters World Championships (2019)
