Portare il fitness nell'era digitale

Ping di WhatsApp alle 10 ... ”Ciao, questa è la tua palestra, a causa del coronavirus la palestra è stata chiusa fino a nuovo avviso ”.

Se sei come me, e hai bisogno di quel corridore alto per tenere sotto controllo il tuo corpo e la tua mente, allora il messaggio sopra era lo scenario del giorno del giudizio. Dimentica la carta igienica, Ho bisogno dei miei pesi!

Questo è per me, un frequentatore di palestra…che dire dei personal trainer, i combattenti MMA, i lottatori, i pugili che guadagnano da vivere su tutto ciò che Covid-19 ci costringe a non fare?

Queste professioni potrebbero non essere un "servizio essenziale" come conducenti di ambulanze e supermercati, ma questi professionisti sono un servizio essenziale per i giorni a venire per la mente, corpo, e anima di tutti, specialmente durante un'epidemia stanno diventando sempre più essenziali di giorno in giorno, anche a ore.

La buona notizia è…la comunicazione digitale delle arti fisiche NON è una novità. Video di allenamento, il wrestling e il combattimento MMA sono stati tutti digitalizzati a partire dagli spot televisivi, YouTube e praticamente ovunque puoi trovare uno schermo.

Il primo passo è chiederti, come hai offerto i tuoi servizi fino ad ora?

Ora, puoi replicarlo davanti a una telecamera?? 

Ora, puoi usare un computer e mettere cose su un sito di appartenenza?
(controllalo https://www.capterra.com/sem-compare/membership-management-software)

Ehi! Hai un affare!

Quasi tutti i servizi basati sull'istruzione, anche il fisico può essere digitalizzato e presentato. Non, non sarà altrettanto bello quanto le cose vere e no, non puoi aspettarti che i tuoi clienti dispongano dell'attrezzatura che fa la palestra…

…Ma ecco la parte difficile e qui c'è la differenza tra una campagna di successo e una che non è ...

La prima cosa da capire è, le persone pagheranno per valore, specialmente in questa era in cui la spesa deve essere fatta bene. Quindi facciamolo bene

Opzione A: Il tono è basso. L'attrezzatura è per lo più inaccessibile, quindi cambia il tuo programma di allenamento per non aver bisogno di quei pezzi fantasiosi. Chiedilo a te stesso, cosa puoi scambiare dentro o fuori dalla routine e ottenere comunque l'impatto che stai cercando?

Un capomastro può essere sostituito da scale, i pesi possono essere sostituiti da pietre (accuratamente).

Se realizzi i tuoi video di allenamento con queste attrezzature attenuate, rendendolo qualcosa che tutti possono fare, su qualsiasi budget, ti sei procurato un vincitore.

Questa è anche l'opportunità di combinare altri servizi che lavorano insieme come l'alimentazione durante l'isolamento. Un livello infinito di opportunità, forse anche più del normale.

Opzione B: The Upsell – Le persone non hanno queste attrezzature, perché non farlo per loro. Tutti i negozi stanno soffrendo. Contatta questi negozi e fabbriche e stipula un accordo che ti aiuterà a facilitare le vendite per loro.

A sua volta, pubblicizzi uno sconto speciale sulle migliori attrezzature. Nel frattempo inizi a guadagnare punti commissione su queste vendite. Una vera vittoria per tutti. Se hai bisogno di aiuto con il tuo marketing digitale, chattare con questi ragazzi.

Tieni a mente il tuo pubblico, è demografico e come viene commercializzato.

So che questi sono tipi new-age di tattiche di marketing per chi va in palestra, questi sono i tempi in cui dobbiamo imparare ad adattarci e cambiare…o scompare.

40th anniversary of tragic airplane crash in Poland

22 members of Team USA Boxing perished

COLORADO SPRINGS, Giro. (Marzo 14, 2020) – One of the darkest days in American sports history occurred 40 years ago today, when Polish Airlines flight #7 that had departed John F. Kennedy Airport in New York City crashed a half-mile from Okecie Airport in Warsaw, Polonia.
 
Tutto 87 passengers died, Compreso 14 boxers and eight officials on the USA Boxing team, due to a disintegration of a turbine disc in one of the plane’s engines that ultimately failed.
 
Team USA was traveling to Poland to compete in two international amateur boxing dual events. The average age of the 14 boxers was only 20 ½, ranging from 27-year-old Walter Harris to 16-year-old Byron Payton.
 
The potential Olympic dreams of the 14 boxers were destroyed in the horrific accident. Although most of the boxers were still in their developmental stage, outside of prospective medal challenger Lemuel Steeples, each member aspired to represent the United States in the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow. (The United States eventually led a boycott of the 1980 Olympics because of the Soviet-Afghan War.)
 
I remember coming home from my boxing gym on March 14, 1980 and hearing the news of the plane crash on the evening news,” ha dichiarato Mike McAtee, direttore esecutivo di USA Boxing.
 
As an aspiring Olympic-style boxer I was shocked and felt a sense of loss like every American boxer, coach and official. Today we are reminded that life is precious, and every day is a blessing. On behalf of USA Boxing’s Board of Directors, 48,000 pugili, coaches and officials and the national office staff we remember the 1980 USA Boxing Team Members and Staff. Please keep them, their families and the worldwide Olympic-style boxing family in your thoughts and prayers.
 
Down But Not OutLost But Not Forgotten

USA Boxing Head Coach Billy Walsh remembers the crash to this day. “I remember it well, as I was a 16-year-old dreaming of the Olympics,” said Walsh. “It was massive news in Europe, a big tragedy with some of the world’s best boxers and staff wiped out. We lost a generation of great fighters, and most importantly loved ones.
 
Patricia Chavis was only seven years old when she learned her father, Sgt. Elliott Chavis, had perished in the crash. She was playing outdoors with friends when she noticed a lot of people crying as they entered and left her home. Her mother called her inside, sat her down with people watching, and said that her father wasn’t coming back because he had been killed in a plane crash.
 
She asked me if I understood and I did, because we had recently lost my great grandmother and paternal grandfather,” an emotional Patricia explained. “I went back outside and told my friends. They were a little older and they didn’t understand why I hadn’t stayed inside with family. It didn’t really hit me that my dad wasn’t coming home until my teenage years. I remember sitting in bed and writing letters to him.
 
Every year still affects me every March. We usually have a family dinner with my mom and grandchildren. They listen to stories about a man they never met. He’s buried in South Carolina and we’ve laid flowers on his grave. Every year on March 14th it brings back memories and we celebrate his life.
 
Sgt. Chavis, who died at the age of 25, was stationed at Ft. Bragg (N.C.), where he learned to box. Era un membro della 118th Military Police Company and during his boxing career, the light heavyweight was All-Army and All-Southeastern.
 
My parents married young,” Patricia continued. “My mom told me he was always athletic. He played football and was a pole vaulter on the track team in high school. But I didn’t know anything about his boxing until we went to a reunion at Ft. Bragg. Around the 30th anniversary I got in touch with some of his Army buddies when I saw on Facebook that they were having a reunion. I went there with my mom and listened to stories they told me about his boxing career. I found it so interesting because I hadn’t known about that. There are quite a few memorials I’ve seen on Facebook and I try to get in touch with other family members (of her father’s teammates who died in the crash). We’ll never forget!”

BRANDUN LEE CONTINUES IMPRESSIVE START TO CAREER WITH THIRD-ROUND TKO OVER CAMILO PRIETO IN THE MAIN EVENT OF SHOBOX: IL VENERDI nuova generazione su Showtime

Brian Norman, Jr. Wins Via Technical Unanimous Decision Over Flavio Rodriguez; Alejandro Guerrero and Aram Avagyan Earn Impressive Majority Decision Victories At Hinckley Grand Casino in Hinckley, Da.



Catch The Replay Lunedi, Marzo 16 A 10 p.m. ET / PT su Showtime EXTREME®

HINCKLEY, MINN. - Marzo 14, 2020 - Undefeated 20-year-old super lightweight prospect Brandun Lee continued the impressive start to his career by scoring a third-round TKO over 33-year-old challenger Camilo Prieto in the ShoBox: La nuova generazione main event Friday night from Hinckley Grand Casino in Hinckley, Da.



The knockout artist Lee, who had stopped 16 del suo primo 18 professional opponents, eased into Friday’s main event, seeking to take his time and add more rounds to his resume. But after just two rounds, Sottovento (19-0, 17 KO) stunned the mobile but overly defensive Prieto (15-3, 10 KO) with a combination. Lee sensed he had injured his opponent and turned on the jets, scoring the TKO after unleashing a multi-punch barrage against the defenseless and against-the-ropes Prieto.



In a night where the four bouts were contested solely in front of the fighters’ friends and family, referee Mark Nelson intervened to stop the main event at the 2:34 mark of round number three. The numbers reflected the lopsidedness of the fight as Lee led 53-9 in punzoni totali sbarcati, 17-8 in jabs connected and 36-1 on power shots. Lee landed more power shots in the fight (36) than Prieto attempted (34).



“I don’t think this was any kind of learning experience for Lee,” said SHOWTIME’s Hall of Fame analyst Steve Farhood. “He needs tougher, more accomplished opponents who can at least give him rounds, if not a competitive fight.”



“I shouldn’t have gone three rounds with that guy,"ha detto Lee, who was fighting on ShoBox for the second time. “I should have gotten him out of there in 40 seconds or a minute tops. But the guy had a game plan and his coach is a former world champion [Glen Johnson] who knew I hadn’t ever been past the fourth round. He was just trying to tire me out. No one wants to watch two guys looking at each other. My defense was a nine out of 10 stasera. But overall I give myself a C-minus. I want to take it to the next level and I’m just super grateful to SHOWTIME and ShoBox for giving me these opportunities.”



Nella co-optional attacco, an all-action affair between undefeated prospect Brian Norman, Jr. (17-0, 14 KO) and Flavio Rodriguez (9-2-1, 7 KO) was cut short after an accidental headbutt caused a deep vertical laceration on the forehead of Rodriguez. At the advice of the ringside physician, referee Gary Miezwa stopped the fight at 57 seconds of round number seven. The fight went to the judges’ scorecards with the technical unanimous decision going in Norman’s favor, 69-64 e 68-65 due volte.



Norman broke open a competitive fight by out-landing Rodriguez 79-35 overall and 73-20 in power punches in rounds five through seven, a reflection of Norman’s superior activity (72.4 punches per round to Rodriguez’s 54.4), accuracy (33%-29% generale, 44%-32% potere) and body punching (67-50 in connects).



The 19-year-old Norman, who turned pro at the age of 17 and is trained by his father and former pro fighter Brian Norman Sr., showed the skills that give him the reputation of a highly-regarded prospect, but still left the fight feeling unsatisfied.



“That headbutt was right before the knockout,” said Norman. “I’m pretty sure everybody saw it. That boy was dead but I give him respect. I believe that seventh round was the knockout round, either by TKO or knockout. I had him dead the round before and drained all the energy out of him.”



“I know I won more rounds than that,” said the 29-year-old Rodriguez, who also feels a knockout was imminent, but in his favor. “I definitely know I won more rounds. I was hitting him with power shots and if we didn’t have that accidental headbutt I felt I could have gotten him out of there.”



In the second fight of the four-fight telecast, undefeated lightweight prospect Alejandro “Pork Chop” Guerrero (12-0, 9 KO) won a closely-contested slugfest via majority decision over Jose Angulo (12-2, 5 KO). I giudici ha segnato la lotta 76-76, 79-73 e 78-74.



In the highly entertaining fight that pitted the aggressive Guerrero against the counter-punching Angulo, two of the judges were seemingly impressed more by Guerrero’s aggression and slightly better power punching (he led 109-104 in power punch connects) than by Angulo’s activity (89.3 punches per round to Guerrero’s 68.9), mobility and diverse combination punching.



With both men going past six rounds for the first time in their careers, it was Guerrero who was able to finish with more energy. He hurt Angulo with a strong right hand in the sixth round and nearly closed the show late in the eighth and final round, but the Ecuadorian who was making his U.S. debut was able to stay on his feet.



“That was probably the toughest fight I’ve had,” said the 22-year-old Guerrero. “I’ve fought at 140 before so his punch power wasn’t too much. Just his heart; you can tell when a fighter has heart and they just want to sit there and bang it out. I didn’t think it was an even fight. I was landing the better shots and I was the better man out there. I gave myself a seven. I can do way better. I just need more conditioning. Whoever’s next, I’ll take on the best in my weight division.”



In a battle of unbeaten featherweights making their ShoBox debuts in the telecast opener, Armenian Olympian Aram Avagyan (10-0-1, 4 KO) overcame knockdowns in both the first and second rounds to earn a hard-fought majority decision over Dominican Republic’s Dagoberto Aguero (15-1, 10 KO). I giudici hanno segnato l'incontro 75-75, 76-74 e 77-74.



For the second consecutive fight, In qualche modo, who is trained by SugarHill Steward at the famed Kronk Gym in Detroit, started slow and was knocked down in the first round. The 29-year-old also hit the canvas in round two when Aguero connected on a chopping overhand right. Starting in the third round, through an impressive body attack (98-42 in connects), better power accuracy (39%-35%) and his ability to induce a rugged inside fight, Avagyan was able to gradually empty the gas tank of Aguero, who had never been past six rounds.



A heavy right cross appeared to score a knockdown of Aguero in the seventh, but referee Gary Ritter ruled it a slip. Aguero led 55-24 in overall connects and 55-20 in power punches landed after two rounds, but Avagyan came on strong in rounds six through eight (83-44 generale, 80-48 potere) to score the comeback victory. Aguero became the 192nd fighter to lose their undefeated record on ShoBox.



“After the second knockdown I just knew I needed to settle down and it would be okay,disse Avagyan. “I had to just come back strong and keep applying the pressure and I did that. The knockdowns were big on points so I knew it would be tough to come back. I thought the performance was just okay. I can show more, and I will in the future.”



Friday’s fights were promoted by Salita Promotions in association with D & D Boxe. La trasmissione televisiva completa ripete il Lunedi, Marzo 16 a 10 p.m. ET / PT su Showtime Extreme e sarà disponibile su Showtime QUALSIASI MOMENTO® e SHOWTIME On Demand®.

“I am very excited for this opportunity and it is an honor to face an opponent like Claressa Shields,disse Dicaire. “I am thankful to my promoter Yvon Michel and everyone involved in making this possible. For me, this is a dream come true. I will be prepared the best I can be and I am ready to leave everything in the ring to win the fight!"

In the four-belt era, only seven fighters have been undisputed in one division, including Shields, Katie Taylor, Cecilia Braekhus, Bernard Hopkins, Jermain Taylor, Terence Crawford, and Oleksandr Usyk.

 A gennaio 10 in Atlantic City, N.J., Shields made history by claiming the WBC and WBO 154-pound world championships with a dominating unanimous decision over Ivana Habazin. Shields è diventato il combattente più veloce nella storia, maschio o femmina, a vincere titoli mondiali in tre categorie di peso differenti, surpassing the records of Vasiliy Lomachenko and Kosei Tanaka, che sia compiuto l'impresa in 12 combattimenti.

Il 24-year-old Shields (10-0, 2 KO) sopraffatto Habazin dalla campana di apertura, utilizzando un forte colpo e una dieta costante di colpi corpo che ha lasciato la Croazia per lo più in modalità difensiva per tutta la lotta di 10 round. Nel sesto round, a series of body shots forced Habazin to take a knee in the first knockdown of her career.

“SHOWTIME has a long history of featuring the best in women’s combat sports, whether it was with Gina Carrano, Cris Cyborg e Ronda Rousey in MMA, or Laila Ali and Christy Martin in boxing,”Ha dichiarato Gordon Hall, Produttore esecutivo di Showtime Boxing: EDIZIONE SPECIALE. "Più recentemente, we have shown Claressa Shields, Christina Hammer, Lightweight Champion Katie Taylor and seven-division champion Amanda Serrano. Shields vs. Dicaire will be our 12th women’s boxing event since 2017. Claressa’s bout with Dicaire represents another historic battle of unbeatens and attempt for another ‘first’ on SHOWTIME as Claressa looks to become undisputed in two weight classes.”

“I am excited to bring a historic night of boxing to fans in Flint at the Dort Federal Credit Union Event Center and to those watching on SHOWTIME,"Detto Dmitriy Salita, Presidente di Promotions Salita. “In Claressa Shields and Marie-Eve Dicaire, we have the two best junior middleweights in the world and two undefeated champions fighting for the undisputed world championship.  In addition to her already historic list of firsts, if victorious, Claressa will become the first two-division undisputed champion in the four-belt era. It will be a triumphant night in Flint on May 9.”

After becoming the first American boxer in history – male or female – to win two consecutive Olympic Gold Medals, Shields turned professional following the 2016 Olympics and headlined the first women’s boxing main event in premium cable television history in just her second professional fight in 2017. Shields, who will be headlining for the seventh time on SHOWTIME, now has her sights on making even more history.

“Claressa Shields continues to be a beacon of light and a trailblazer for women’s boxing, women’s sports, and boxing overall,”Ha dichiarato Mark Taffet, Shields’ manager. “Being the only American to win back-to-back Olympic Gold in boxing, having won world titles in three weight divisions faster than any man or woman in boxing history, and now having the chance to be the first person – man or woman – to be an undisputed champion in two weight divisions in the four-belt era, Claressa will continue to add to her list of legendary, unprecedented and history-making accomplishments come May 9. I’m proud to be a part of her journey.”

The 33-year-old Dicaire (17-0) is from Saint-Eustache, Quebec, Canada, and started karate at the age of six. She worked her way up through the ranks until she obtained her black belt. After winning five world championship titles, Dicaire turned her attention to boxing and won the IBF Super Welterweight World Championship belt in December 2018 dethroning by decision the Uruguayan Chris Namus at the Quebec City Videotron Center. In her last fight in November of 2019, Dicaire defended her title for the third time beating experienced Venezuelan Ogleidis Suarez by unanimous decision. Dicaire will be fighting outside of the province of Quebec for the first time on May 9 and will be looking to score the upset victory in front of Shields’ hometown fans.

“Marie-Eve Dicaire against Claressa Shields, a battle of two undefeated champions for all the titles – you can’t get a better match in boxing,” said Yvon Michel, Dicaire’s promoter, Presidente della GYM. “We have great respect and admiration for all Shields has accomplished but there is no doubt Marie-Eve is the most skilled, strong and dedicated opponent Claressa has faced. We are very confident that all the belts will come back to Canada with us. Thanks to Salita Promotions and SHOWTIME for the opportunity. Marie-Eve Dicaire will provide a great fight for the fans and viewers.”

Undefeated rising star Jamaine “Il tecnico” Ortiz In developmental process on way to top

WORCESTER, Massa. (Marzo 11, 2020) – Fresh off his sensational hometown debut last month, Jamaine “Il tecnico” Ortiz (13-0, 7 KO) is in the middle of a developmental process that is, fiduciosamente, headed to the top of the 135-pound division by 2022.

The 23-year-old Ortiz, who will abdicate his World Boxing Council (WBC) Youth World lightweight title next month when he turns 24 because he’ll be overage, headlined a Classic Entertainment and Sports (CES) show February 28th at the famed Palladium in Worcester, Massachusetts.

Despite fighting for the first time in six months, Ortiz showed no signs of rust, forcing Mexican knockout specialist LocoLuis Ronaldo Castillo (22-6, 17 KO), a former WBC FECOMBOX lightweight champion, to take a knee after landing a crisp uppercut and then finishing him off later in the second round with three overhand rights.

Ortiz, nominale No. 16 by the North American Boxing Federation (NABF), gained invaluable exposure headlining the CES event, which was streamed live and exclusively on UFC FIGHT PASS®, servizio digitale leader a livello mondiale di sottoscrizione per gli sport da combattimento.

There was no reason of any rust,” Ortiz explained. “I had been working hard in the gym for several months, where I always do my best. Maybe the bright lights (fighting at home for the first time) affected me a little? It was a little different going through the fans (on his ring walk) to get to the ring (on stage). I picture much bigger things in my future, so I can’t let small stuff like that put me off my game. But I settled in quickly and felt comfortable.

I hit him with a good uppercut to the jaw. I figured he’d get up, because he had a late reaction when he went down, but I knew it was over when I hit him with three overhand rights. I really hurt him with the last punch as he was going down. I didn’t say it publicly, but I told some people that I would knock him out in the second round, and I did what I said I’d do. I knew early that it was only going to be a matter of time.

Ortiz displayed his lightning quick hands and feet, also switching effortlessly from orthodox to southpaw, Jamaine plans to return to work next week as a union carpenter and he’s already started running before he gets back in the gym.

A decorated amateur who had an impressive 100-14 record, highlighted by consecutive New England Golden Gloves titles in 2015 & 2016, as well as a silver medal at the 2015 Golden Gloves Torneo Nazionale (he lost to current IBF World lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez nel finale di campionato) and reaching the semifinals of the 2016 U.S. Trials olimpici, Ortiz is a potential star on the rise.

Because he’s only 23 there is no legitimate reason to push Ortiz at this stage of his young pro career when his developmental process is in gear. First up is his initially scheduled 10-round fight, possibly for a regional title, likely against an accomplished, experienced opponent who will give Jamaine invaluable rounds (he only has 52 colpi sotto la cintura).

In 2021, the dream is for Ortiz to headline a major show at home in Worcester with world-ratings implications, at the new home of the Boston Red SoxAAA organization at Polar Park, which is being constructed now for an estimate construction cost of $100-million.

If all goes according to plans, Ortiz will challenge for a world title in 2022, at the latest.
The Ortiz Process has commenced with the goal of eventually developing him into a world titlist. Patience, anche se, is the key to building a champion!
