All of my other siblings are also boxers and they’re also multiple-time champions. My siblings and I have been getting a ton of family time staying home together. This quarantine has made us even closer. Our bond makes us stronger individually and as one. I’m far away from training in Colorado Springs, but my teammates are only a phone call away. I’m able to stay in touch and that’s very warming. Some of the coaches check on me to see how I’ve been doing. I looked forward to all the tournaments I planned to fight in and I’m disappointed they’ve been postponed, but I have more time to be even better prepared for my next fight.”
JUNIOR HIGH PERFORMANCE TEAM
Steven Navarro (Los Angeles, California) 16-flyweight taun heubeul, Peringkat AS #1
Pintonan Medali Emas: 2019 Junior National Championships & PAL Nasional; 2018 Junior National Championships; 2017 Prep Open & Buka Daerah Kulon
Navarro latihan di Colorado Springs pikeun nyiapkeun kompetisi internasional di Bulgaria, tapi perjalanan dibatalkeun dua dinten sateuacan Navarro sareng batur-baturna dijadwalkeun angkat.
“Salaku anggota Tim Junior Tinju AS, Abdi ngarep pisan unggal gelut / pasanggiri, sabab bisa jadi panungtungan kuring. Janten pikasediheun pisan nalika kuring dibéjakeun yén tarung urang di Bulgaria sareng tarung internasional anu bakal datang dibatalkeun kusabab pandémik ieu.. Kuring terus digawé teuas saperti kuring rutin: hudang di 5 di énjing-énjing, lumpat 5-6 mil di pasir caket dieu, tangtu maké topéng mah. Kuring datang ka imah nyandak kelas online abdi ti 9 a.m.-2 p.m., anu masihan kuring sare 2 jam sateuacan angkat ka gim pribadi kuring. Kami hiji-hijina jalma anu ngalatih di gim kuring unggal dinten di 4:30 p.m. Sakali kuring meunang ka gim, I begin stretching for 3 rounds (3-babak menit), shadow box for 5-7 rounds, then I hit five varieties of punching bags (3 rounds unggal). Afterwards, I work mitts (5-8 rounds) where I focus on different movements and situations that could possibly happen in a fight. I often hit the double-end bag and speed bag for 3 rounds. I finish my boxing training with 15 a. of jump rope.
“I train on a daily basis for 2 hours with my father/coach Refugio Navarro. This pandemic is a bit of a gamble due to not having access to sparring. I do tend to ‘move’ with my father once every week, but the experience is different. Once finished, I head to my grandparents’ house (only one block away from my home) to do my strength and conditioning. I do wear a mask and gloves when working out there. My grandfather is a bodybuilder and has his gym setup in his garage. I work-out with my grandfather for a good hour, constantly disinfecting all equipment, to wrap-up my day. I work with what I have, which is a blessing. Boxing isn’t a season sport, you must stay ready all year for anything, and that’s what I continue to do as I strive for greatness.”
Fernanda Chavez (Dallas, Texas), 14-year-old bantamweight, Peringkat AS #2
Pintonan Medali Emas: 2019 Junior Open; 2018 Prep Open & Eastern Regional
Chavez is a first-year member of the Junior High Performance Team and her inaugural training camp in Colorado Springs was pushed back.
“Adapting to this new lifestyle hasn’t been the easiest. I’m thankful I have my family, as we’ve been going on daily runs and workouts at parks. My family understands the importance of my athleticism and staying fit, which is why we continue to motivate each other during this tough time. I’m not sure when our lives will return to normal, which is why I’m still prepared at all times.
“The things I’m looking forward to most at camp in Colorado Springs is meeting other junior females on the team, as well as learning the different styles they bring. I also look forward to creating bonds between my new teammates and coaches from across the nation.”
