What can we learn from the sweet science?

* I learned more from boxing than anywhere else

* Team sports are great, and obviously applicable, but when it comes to leadership being the best, nothing calls on your character, strength and will like a good old 1-1

* Defence, of self-protection, does not win a fight.  There are no points for safety.

* You have to go slow to get fast.   Tension and fear ruins absolutely everything

* Find a good cornerman

* Look for opportunities.  Finding and fixing your gaps, and finding and exploiting HIS gaps are the key to success.

* Be patient, graceful, and stay in the fight.  That way, even when you lose you win.
