Saw news Usyk took an unexpected break from boxing training ahead of a possible final bout, sticking to CrossFit, cardio, and family time instead. Reminded me of Mike, an ER nurse I work with training for a local boxing match; he’d been pulling double shifts and skipping dinner with his kids to practice. I told him about Usyk, and next week he took two days off: walked his dog, baked cookies with his daughter, even brought me one. He came back with a softer smile, less edge. Rest isn’t a setback, it’s part of the plan.
