Evan’s Testimonial

“I started boxing in 2019 at another gym. I really fell in love with it when I first sparred. For a time, my love for the sport kept rising. But, at a certain point, the environment was not one that allowed for the love I had for the sport to keep growing for me.

When that happened, my love for the sport was waning. I decided to take a break from boxing at that time. There was a point during that break, I considered quitting altogether. I decided to go back to the gym I was at, but the love I had for it didn’t come back at all. I felt I was done with boxing because I wasn’t growing anymore and there didn’t seem to be a camaraderie. I felt at my lowest point.

One day, my Dad and I were at Home Depot and we ran into Coach Jamie from NSAC. We were talking to Jamie about how I was quitting due to how I didn’t love boxing anymore.

I decided to give NSAC a try after I had a heart to heart talk with Coach Mike. During the first couple times I was there, I really saw how a boxing gym should be where everybody was friends and everyone was respected and treated each other how teammates should. I really got that sense of family that I couldn’t find anywhere else. At the same time, when I started going more frequently, I started feeling good about myself again and started to appreciate the sport because I reached new heights at NSAC.

I joined NSAC when I was at my lowest and being around all the fighters and coaches really made me into the person I am today and I couldn’t be more grateful to all of them.”
