Who's Rick Sweeney?
Your personal coach, Rick Sweeney, was born June 8, 1959. He boxed as an amateur from 1982-1986, with a 10-2 record. He was Adirondack Golden Gloves champion at 152 lbs. in 1985.
Rick became a professional in 1986 with a 2-0 record, before opening Sweeney’s Boxing in 1994.
He’s been vice president of amateur boxing in the Adirondack region since 2004.
He’s a professional and amateur boxing trainer, cut man, and promoter, as well as a fitness and weight loss trainer.
Rick has trained such fighters as Frank Houghtaling when he won the IBC America’s title and New York State’s junior middle-weight title, and Teresa Perozzi when she won the NABC women’s world title in Bermuda and defended it in Sweden.
He’s worked the corner in 7 title fights, and he’s the trainer of former WIBC Light Welterweight champ Sarah Kuhn.
The app advertisement is misleading. This is audio only with minimal preset recordings. You can adjust rounds and rest time, but that’s about it. Good if you already know what you’re doing and just need someone to call punches. At $2.99 I figured I’d see what this was about— you can now save your $3.00. There are better apps out there for boxing. 2 stars cause it is cheap and may be good for more experienced boxers just needing punch call outs.
