Even those who have never thought about stepping into a boxing ring can learn what it means to be up against the ropes. Acute and chronic injuries can leave even the strongest individuals "looking to their corner" for guidance and help. Trust, compassion, skill and perspective are all needed when fighters look to their corner.
Selecting the right team to have in your corner can be the most important move a fighter or a patient will ever make!
