About this listen
On today’s episode I am joined by Sammy McKay, professional boxer, boxing coach at Miguels Boxing Gym in Brixton and founder of Champs Within. Sammy started boxing in 2015, as part of the London Fire Brigade Lambeth Boxing Initiative. Having travelled the world training with champions, Sammy gained a number of title wins and turned pro in 2020. Sammy has trained regularly at Miguels since finding the sport, and is now one of the lead trainers at the gym. Set up in 2020, Champs within uses boxing as a tool to foster positive social interaction in a supportive and controlled environment, empowering one another to achieve goals, reach our full potential and be the best versions of ourselves. Champs Within aims to showcase how boxing not only supports a healthy lifestyle but also encourages consistency, discipline and resilience, whilst teaching kids transferable skills that can help forge a healthy approach to everyday life.
On this conversation we discuss the impact of trauma on mental and physical health, the need for people to have a healthy outlet for the stresses and difficulties in life and how community, consistency and understanding is important in fostering personal and collective growth. I really enjoyed recording this conversation so hope you enjoy listening. We recorded at Miguels Boxing Gym so apologies as there are a few boxing noises in the background!
