hey rick, whats happening.

First off, how many guys in the hobby are like vince in the skills department.
skills department on his level, NOT MANY ! Why does 99% of coaches who come in contact with vince come away stunned. THEY PROBABLY SAW SOME THING THEY NEVER THOUGHT WAS POSSIBLE. Instead of teaching you any particular style, he is showing you the basics on an extreme level so you can be great no matter where you go. from what im reading, vince seems to be a pure and bonified lombardi/belchik type of coach. IM GOING BY WHAT I AM HEARING. i guess many mis read him as a person who brags. what did ALI SAY IN HIS BOXING RANTS. " It aint bragging, if you can back it up. FROM WHAT IM READING, IT SEEMS HE IS BACKING EVERYTHING HE SAID UP.

I say be thankful you have vince to consult with and to help you become a better coach. Why do this if you do not want to become a better coach.
I love all the LA guys and im not sure what happened out their, but we all only have a short time to enjoy the game. Hope something gets worked out.

Just remember rocky 3 when apollo took rocky back to the old gym and neighborhood to learn more of the basics and to get the eye of the tiger back. They became friends after that i recall. It's almost natural to bicker amongst peers, only because your in the same business.



FROM WHAT IM READING, it sounds like he enjoys teaching what he knows to the people who did not cut class.
I just hope someday things will be o k again on the westside. many more coaches are planning on coming to the open run in october, lets all just have fun.

thanx
