Eric Spicely's Blog: Episode 3, TUF 23

[Better Every Day]

From blog:

"Even though the training was very intense it was very good and smart training. I mean Claudia brought her team from home. Her full-time team that she works with and who have coached many people to great heights in the world of MMA. So the trust was there between us and the coaches despite how hard it was."

"We had heard horror stories about the Team Joanna practices. Her style is very tough and cold. I do believe that works for her and others but maybe it's not for everyone. I do like hard work, no bullshit coaches but that's not for everyone. Especially with some people being new to MMA and only having a handful of professional fights. A lot of us were stepping out of our comfort zones and I think that's where the real challenge lies. One thing I will say is that Joanna hand-picked her coaches. Most of them were famous well known coaches but they all don't work together in a team basis. I feel that disconnect might have led to their troubles in training. The trust wasn't there. Versus the solid unit of coaches who work together on a daily basis. It made for smooth sailing."

I heard from a coach Simon absolutely opposite versions...

He says that team members complained about a light training for the first two to three weeks. And contrary to the recommendations of coaches did additional training on their own, the result of which led to overtraining. But after these first weeks, they finally started to listen to the coaches and to train as they were told.

So someone is lying!
