“Nobody Truly Knows Who They Are Until They Step in the Ring" | Coach Rich Stephenson

 Coach Rich Stephenson is a 15-year Army veteran, Bronze Star recipient, and USA Boxing High Performance Team coach. He built a championship programme at West Point, founded Breathing Boxing Club at NYAC, and has quietly shaped some of the best amateur fighters in the country.

In this episode, Rich breaks down what the military taught him about pressure, how he went from West Point to elite coaching, what actually happens in the 60 seconds between rounds, why Roy Jones Jr. is his favourite fighter, and a philosophy on winning and losing that reframes how every competitor should think about results.

This conversation is honest, unhurried, and full of coaching wisdom you won't hear anywhere else.
