On a typical night there would be about 15-20 kids in the gym. Claressa sometimes lead the conditioning training.

This is one reason that Claressa left Jason - he was all about the group and training kids. After her gold medal, Claressa didn’t want to train alongside 12 year olds or be expected to be their role model. She was ready for her own coach and to be treated like the royalty she is.

I always imagined that it felt really good for Claressa to be seen as an individual and to get focused attention from Jason. He’s the kind of charismatic guy where It feels good when he’s got his full attention on you.

Green begins the round. The Yellow Bell goes off at 2.5 minutes and then red at 3 minutes. It’s a nice detail in a boxing gym to have this bell going off. Everyone stops training for that rest interval. Then goes hard for three minutes.
