This is an exciting opportunity for us to work with the best amateur boxers in the region, and for Yorkshire to set the standards for sport science support in national and international amateur boxing.

This program is part-funded by Yorkshire boxing, giving privileged boxers a massive discount on top-class sport science support.

At the world class facilities that Sheffield Hallam University, highly qualified coaches will deliver comprehensive sport science training package for a range of elite, youth and female amateur boxers. Furthermore, we will also be providing detailed analysis on physical performance.

We will also be delivering educational workshops across the region for boxers and coaches to practice in their gyms. The workshops will include topics such as introductions to warm-up/mobility, strength training, high intensity interval training (HIIT) and plyometric training.
