Cus D'Amato was no joke... Ali had to fall back

[Starman]

So his name is Cus and not “Cuts”?

Those reflexes

There are videos of Cus D'Amato's philosophies about fear and the way he used psychology (if that's the right word) to break down and build up a fighter.

It seems to me that Cus was a true "coach"

Today a coach or trainer is someone who teaches an athlete a skill, or goes over strategy..

It seems very few actually build the mind and the person that will exercise the skills.

Because they go and see sports psychologist for that.

The days of when your coach/trainer was everything are over and have been for some time. It's probably healthier for an athlete to have a different voice on the mental side of things to the physical and technical side. And lets not forgot some of old school coaching mental techniques would be deemed as bullying nowadays.

What you don't see in this video is how cus showed Ali how he would deal with his attack. Low Jab to the body just as he bounces in. Stopped him in his tracks.

Swear I always thought it was Cuts...I thought that was his nickname as a boxer and he stuck with it

No one has a sports psychologist breh.

That shyt is maybe for the top of the top athletes. And even then I bet a tiny amount who have access actually use one routinely.

Great read. Cus was that dude beyond the ring. Outside of his style and philosophy, he really went to bat for his fighters. How boxing is ran nowadays owes a debt to Cus. Damn near single handedly went up against the monopoly the Mafia had on the sport.

What you think a mental skills coach is?

Pro sports teams—especially in Major League Baseball (MLB)—have expanded access to performance psychology resources in recent years, says Courtney Albinson, PhD, a sport psychologist at Northwestern University and president of APA Div. 47 (Society for Sport, Exercise & Performance Psychology). In 2018, for instance, a record 27 of 30 MLB teams employed “mental skills coaches” to help players deal with the mental challenges of the game.

Every young boy or man needs a Cus in their lives

You are misunderstanding or maybe we are speaking about different things.

A team hiring a guy for players to talk to is not even close to the same thing that Cus D'Amato was.


The shyt these teams are doing is more along the lines of that shyt from The Natural
