I was at the gym this morning sparring with my buddy and at the end of our last round the coach/owner of the place told me that he saw me sparring monday, wednesday, thursday and now today. He told me that it was a bad thing to do sparring this often cause it'll drain me mentally and physically and that I don't get enough time to rest between all those punches I eat.
Personally, as far as physical and mental go, I'm pretty sure I'm fine, I eat all day as if I was a bodybuilder, I'm sore physically when I train but I feel top notch other than that, my sleep is really good and mentally I feel fine, I'm actually asking for more...
But it kinda made sense tho.
According to him I should only have 1 to 2 good sparring session a week, true?
Should I cut back or keep going at it? I really wanna compete sometime soon so I figured sparring would be the closest thing to the real deal. If I do need to cut back, how should one prepare to fighting without sparring? bag? shadow boxing? How can I get better in the ring from the outside
