We are back in the Boxing TL;DR studio for this 30th episode of the Boxed In podcast.    What is it about putting in measurable progress into a goal you have set for yourself that has such an intoxicating effect?   Trainer and boxer Trevor and Garrity begin by talking about some of the current happenings at the gym until they land on the main theme of today's episode.  We find ourselves at our best when we are putting in the work, doing the work for the sake of doing the work, simple as that.    Depression is prevalent in society today and especially so in athletes.  We come from this hyper masculine world of boxing, where a fight of flight mode is putting constant stress on your brains.  The depression is there, it comes and it goes, and we talk about it in this episode.    While inconclusive as to fighting depression overall, we only know what works best for us.  Put that work in, it's the best medicine we've found.  Boxing has been a element involved in some of my biggest points of happiness, and it has also been one of my biggest sources of misery.     We know this isn't unique to boxing, let's talk about it now, no need to wait for another sad news event to have a discussion.
