A Little About Me

        I have been participating in the sport of Amateur Boxing for thirteen consecutive years and I have been a competitive athlete for twelve of these years.  I have had 136 competitive bouts, ranging from club cards to the 2005 Junior Olympics.  When I started fighting my win to lost ratio was about one to one, but those were tough times in my boxing career and now losing is a thing of the past as I have been moving up in the boxing world.  I have medaled at the Canadian Nationals five times with two of these being gold medals(2005, 2010).  I have also earned a bronze medal at the 2005 Junior Olympics, which was held in Brownsville, Texas and I won the 2007 Ringside World Championships in Kansas City, Missouri. During the Junior Olympics I fought the Puerto Rico and the USA National Champions and at the Ringside World Championships I fought the National Champions from Mexico and  USA coming out victoriuos over them both.  I am currently the Alberta Provincial Champion twelve times over and the Western Canadian Champion five times over.

        

   I train on a regular basis with some world renowned coaches.  I travel from Calgary to Edmonton regularly to get extra coaching and sparring.  I train five days a week for a duration of four hours and run and do sprint every morning.  My training consists of sparring, pad work, bag work, skipping, shadow boxing, and lifting weights.  My run is usually between four and five miles replaced every other day with wind sprints.

       My plan as a kid was to box in the Amateur ranks until I made it to the Olympics. Recently I have been inclined to turn Professional and start climbing in the Professional Ranks and one day become a World Champion.


My Goal

     To turn Professional when I am physically and mentally tuned from all the Amateur experience I have acquired through out the years. Then to make a loud statement as I enter the Professional ranks and one day to become a World Champion as a pro.  The more time I have to devote to paying bills, the less time I have to train for the time when the worlds attention will be  focused on me.

     The concept of this sponsorship portfolio is to help solicit support service groups, private businesses and corporations so that high caliber athletes like myself have the opportunity to realize their competitive goals at the highest level of competition and allow athletes to focus all their attention on training and competition.  This support is essential to help develop the elite athletes through additional training, transportation and accommodations to attend as many clubs as possible for high quality sparring, bouts, tournaments and specialized equipment.  Without this support, it becomes increasingly more difficult for an athlete to reach their full potential.  Other aspects that your support helps provide includes boxing equipment like boots, shorts, shirts, boxing gloves, and running shoes, also helps cover day to day expenses like groceries and living accommodations.

About The Red Deer Boxing Club

    The Red Deer Boxing Club was formed in 1988, by the present team manager, president, and head coach, Robert Carswell.

     Rob Carswell started his experience with boxing at the age of thirteen. He trained and competed out of Taber, Lethbridge, and Calgary.  After retiring as an active amateur boxer, Rob became involved in the coaching aspect of boxing, coaching at various locations across Alberta.  Rob became involved in the Alberta boxing organization as an official, referee, judge, coach and provincial board member.

     Under Rob's tutelage, members of the Red Deer boxing club have achieved numerous accolades.  Amongst those achievements are: countless bronze, silver and golden glove championships, dozens of provincial and western Canadian championships, over 10 Canadian championships, Junior Olympic medalists, Olympic attendees, Commonwealth games attendees, 3 Junior world championships, 4 senior world championships, and others

.

     Perhaps one of the most important achievements for Rob and his club are the excellent values and work ethics taught to every athlete, competitive or not.

     Red Deer boxing club has held up to 50 members per year for the last 16 years, operating at various locations around Red Deer, always as a not for profit organization.
