From P.A. to Head coach…
Part 2
Finding a way
It’s been 12 years since we wrapped When the Bell Rings, 8 years since it’s world premiere.
Nothing in my life has change for the most part, except having a few more weight and baggage to manage in life.
I allowed myself to get out of shape yet again. So my wife set up something with Chase Dixon, my former strength coach and owner of New Orleans Boxing Club, for me to get back in shape.
I got to New Orleans and went straight to work on getting in shape and in the mean time Chase gave me an illusion of me running his gym for the most part, but I technically didn’t run it. My wife paid for my workouts and I was getting back to tip top form. My son was in Job Corp trying to find his way in life.
Everything changed for the worst when Deshaun, my now oldest living son, got kicked out of Job Corps. “Idiot” I said to myself. Now he’s forced to stay with me at the gym, this was yet another emotional journey, I can talk later about it, but shit changed tremendously when he came to the gym.
