Scott was having a really difficult time at school, so I (his dad) decided to bring him down to Cheltenham Boxing Academy to see Pat Lewis. My hope was that boxing would help him learn to control his mood swings and build his self-confidence.
The transformation has been unbelievable. He’s now one of Pat’s best up-and-coming juniors at the academy 👏🥊
Let me tell you a bit about Scott’s journey.
Scott has autism. He struggles with adapting to change and with people telling him what to do. He was kicked out of every school he attended, and it felt like the whole system had given up on him. But I never did. I’ve always known he has a fighting spirit — I’ve seen it in him ever since we used to watch the UFC and boxing together.
So I introduced him to the world of boxing.
As a father, you always try to push your children in the right direction, right?
