Hi. I’m Rebecca Tillett,00;00;05;27 - 00;00;07;19
head women's
basketball coach of Saint Louis00;00;07;19 - 00;00;08;20
Women's Basketball.00;00;08;20 - 00;00;12;00
We were here with our team today,
met up with Saint Louis Boxing Club.00;00;12;10 - 00;00;14;17
Great thing for young women
to feel strength.00;00;14;17 - 00;00;16;16
We're not always taught to box when we’re young,00;00;16;16 - 00;00;17;13
or, you know, defend ourselves.00;00;17;13 - 00;00;18;16
So this gives that.00;00;18;16 - 00;00;22;09
And it's also great for team camaraderie
and really improving our conditioning00;00;22;09 - 00;00;23;16
without just sprinting outside.00;00;23;16 - 00;00;25;26
Right? This is a creative
way to get in better shape00;00;25;26 - 00;00;28;10
I just think that boxing,
you know, brings a lot to it, right.00;00;28;10 - 00;00;30;20
Teaches toughness,
which is one of our core values00;00;30;20 - 00;00;33;28
and also teaches us to be quick
on our feet, to make quick decisions,00;00;34;03 - 00;00;36;00
which you have to be
to be successful at basketball.
