Lost a sparring match and i feel ashamed?

Posted at: 2015-04-20 
There is no such thing as loosing a sparring match, this mentality will continually reinforce bad habits and most likely will cease any boxing future.

I was like that once. I couldn't spar, and took a lot of time spent training and turned it into laying around. But eventually I got tired of just sitting around moping and got back to it. Besides, there's no losing in sparring. Just get in their and learn. It might take some time though to get the strength back in you to do it, but just keep going.

That's not what sparing is about there are no winners it is there for you too learn and work on things that you need to get better and to get your *** beat every once and a wile it's better to have it done in sparing then in the ring don't feel bad just keep that in your head next time you spar and give him Hell next time it's all for learning

can't win em all!

Ok well i showed up to training and that day i just didnt have the fight in me i did not have that urge to fight. I let my trainer know how i was feeling and he still made me spar so i did but when i was sparring like i said just dident have the urge to fight i landed some good left hooks and straight rights but i found my self mostly dodging and blocking punches when i clearly saw openings for counters but i dident take them cus i really didnt wanna fight i was in the corner for the majority of the fight and i got knocked around pretty bad i found my self nauseous,dizzy and a big head ache after. I feel ashamed and embarrased and i feel as if i let my trainer down. He says he dosent want me sparring him anymore cus i guess i took to bad of a beating but previous sparring with him i won. but anyways yeah i just feel ashamed like i should have fought harder. :/
