Boxing is on the road to recovery — but there’s still work to be done. That’s the view of Irish National Performance Director Jon Mackey ahead of the team’s departure to Brazil for the World Boxing Cup.

Yesterday’s final day of the Team Ireland @RealWorldBoxing sparring camp in Sheffield.

Team Ireland have returned home to taper, after spending 10 days sparring among 18 federations and 144 boxers.

There’s just 7 days to go until the first bell at the World Boxing Championships at the M&S Arena, Liverpool.

@10Simmer10 @kyledupic High Philip I’m curious to know - What do you mean by sub conscious processing? The reason I ask is that it’s a very internalistic perspective that conflicts with many elements of the ecological approach. Keen to hear your thoughts.

[Jon Mackey @JonMackey14]

@kyledupic @movementcoachkm “EcoD can continue to poke holes in bad coaching” - that’s what you said. It’s a silly statement no matter what way you try repackage it.

[Jon Mackey @JonMackey14]

@movementcoachkm @kyledupic @ConvoswColeman Couldn’t agree more 👍🏽

[Jon Mackey @JonMackey14]

@movementcoachkm @kyledupic @ConvoswColeman Better frame this one Kevin - we agree on something 😄

[Jon Mackey @JonMackey14]

@kyleunitas @kyledupic @ConvoswColeman Indeed

@JimHaverstrom @10Simmer10 @SportsWageringT @kyledupic 100%

[Jon Mackey @JonMackey14]

@kyledupic Or is it the other way around?

[Jon Mackey @JonMackey14]

@10Simmer10 @JimHaverstrom @SportsWageringT @kyledupic Just to clarify, this was not me attacking ED by suggesting it means coaches should get out of the way - it is in fact a phrase often repeated by coaches who lean heavily into the theory. Evidence of this can be found on this platform.

[Jon Mackey @JonMackey14]

@10Simmer10 @JimHaverstrom @SportsWageringT @kyledupic Direct instruction does not necessarily have to be internally focused. Would you agree?

[Jon Mackey @JonMackey14]

@JimHaverstrom @10Simmer10 @SportsWageringT @kyledupic I’d add Jim, I don’t think questioning is a substitute for direct instruction. Both may have different contexts with different outcomes 👍🏽

[Jon Mackey @JonMackey14]

@JimHaverstrom @10Simmer10 @SportsWageringT @kyledupic It is Jim. But it’s repeated over and over by some coaches who lean into ED to guide their practice. One of many misconceptions and misunderstandings at play

[Jon Mackey @JonMackey14]

@SportsWageringT @10Simmer10 @kyleunitas @kyledupic Sorry, you’ve confused the life out of me with that. Bringing Descartes into the conversation is a slippery slope!
