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

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

The psychological breakdown and rebuild of an athletes mindset in the way you are talking about doesn't work on 21st century athletes. Tough love coaching is a thing of the past.

The psychological breakdown and rebuild of an athletes mindset in the way you are talking about doesn't work on 21st century athletes.

Why? What makes you think that getting into the mind of an athlete to find out what his fears and motivations are is an obsolete idea? It seems to me always applies.

Tough love coaching is a thing of the past.

I don't think Cus D'Amato was a "tough love" coach the way it is typically understood.

Cus D'Amato was the Bill Walsh or the Phil Jackson of boxing trainers, some one who was old school but modernized the sweet science.

You gone be gasping for air after 30 seconds. Don’t let an experienced breh catch you in the ring sparring too. Your head popping back as you get punched repeatedly in the face is a humbling experience.



Ayooo

Boxing and wrestling are two things that require a whole different level of fitness. First time I tried to spar my legs was straight rubber by the end of three minutes. Started off decent by the minute mark was getting pieced up. Plus as soon as I felt a body shot I was like fukk this and had to distance myself lol.

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.

Lol you wilding it’s some high school athletes with sports psychologist

Jeremy Lin was just on a podcast talking about going to a sport psychologist and he in the g league

Imagine someone that didn’t know Cuss tryna try him even at that age thinking the old man was sweet

He could have got a punch off on Muhammad Ali at that age...he’d have wiped a normal human being’s nose off a cross
