Now it’s time to switch to boxing! 🥊
In May, I hope to take part in Zuidas Business Boxing, which means I have a new challenge to work towards!
After running the Amsterdam Marathon, I had to take two weeks off because my ankle was seriously swollen. At first, I didn’t think much of it, but apparently I did pick up a small injury after all. No pain, no gain, right? 😉
Luckily, I’m back in action now and ready for the next project: boxing!
My goal is to build up to at least three training sessions per week and hopefully be ready to step into the ring in May.
And I have to say, I’m really enjoying this new approach to sports. A big thanks to Biondi Pikientio for coaching me, pushing me and helping me work towards this next challenge!
Something I’ve discovered this year is how much more enjoyable life becomes when you’re working towards a clear goal.
In entrepreneurship, sales and LinkedIn growth, I’ve known this for years. When you know what you want to achieve, you become more focused, more consistent and you actually start enjoying the process of getting there.
But somehow, I never really applied that same principle to sports. Until this year, when I decided to run a marathon.
And what a discovery that has been!
I can recommend it to anyone who feels they’re missing a goal or a challenge in life. Just sign up for a marathon, a boxing competition or any other sporting event that seems a little out of reach.
Once you’ve committed, you’ll suddenly have a reason to train, improve and keep going.
And the beautiful thing is that all those lessons translate directly into business. You learn about discipline, consistency, dealing with setbacks and pushing yourself beyond what you thought was possible.
So after six months of running, it’s time for something completely different.
Let’s see if I can turn this marathon runner into a boxer! 🥊
What challenge are you working towards right now?
