How do I tell my mom I want to box?

How do I tell my mom I want to be a professional boxer when I grow up? She doesn't want me boxing but my heart is telling me to be a boxer.

Remember that your mom is the one that ultimately gets to say whether or not you get to box. You can't make her sign you up. You can only make her want to sign you up. Here's the game plan:

Be an angel around the house. Wash the dishes without being asked to. Mow the front lawn if you hear your mom saying the grass is getting a bit long. Make your bed every time you wake up. Keep your room spotless. Get epic grades. You can't be perfect, but try to be as close to it as you can possibly be. Most importantly, make this drastic change as abrupt as possible. That way, the happiness with your mom comes as quickly as possible. Now she's buttered up.

Ask her to join boxing. Do NOT make boxing seem like a violent sport. No mother wants their child getting injured. Make it seem as safe as you can; show the her how professional the teachers are. Show her that it'll put you in shape (remember to get as out of shape as you can BEFORE you ask her to join boxing). That way, she's even more motivated to get you in shape.

Do things like what I said ^^ up there, and it'll likely work. That's my 2 cents though.

Frank,

Try this "Mom, I wanna Box." if that doesn't work and you really need your Mothers approval then think of something else to do. Your mind and body have to be totally dedicated to the sport of Boxing, my friend. One CAN NOT play boxing. Boxing is unlike Football, Basketball, Tennis and Soccer. You get hit in the head and that is no joke and those hits to the head cause damage and if you're worried about support from the home front, then you better think of something else to do.

If you "Love" the sport then train as a fighter trains without the sparring or fighting. If that's not your gig hang around the gym and watch some Trainers pick up on things and in time try training a couple of guys/girls. If that's not your gig, then think about being a referee or judge. There's lots of ways to be around the Greatest sport ever without having to get in the ring and banging it out.

You need support from your family and if it ain't there now, it's never going to be there move forward Frank and you'll carve your niche. Good luck Frank, and listen to your Mother. God Bless.

well your mother is affraid that you may be hurt badly some bad things may happen to you. That is why she doesn't want you to become a boxer.

Assure hard that you will practise hard and become a good one of them. Tell her that the professional boxers were similar to you when they were children, but they practised hard and now look where they are... Listen to your heart. Do what you really want to do...

Tell her you want to learn to defend yourself because you don't feel safe on the streets. That or do it behind her back
