My name is Jose Hinojosa, and I'm writing to you today to share my passion for boxing and my commitment to developing young athletes. As the head coach of the South Omaha Boxing Club, I've dedicated my life to the sport, and I'm eager to share my experience and expertise.

 

My journey began in Mexico, continued through my upbringing in California, and eventually led me to Nebraska in 1995. From the age of nine, I've been immersed in the world of boxing. My rigorous training regimen, honed over decades. Which instilled in me not only physical prowess, but also the discipline and dedication necessary for success both inside and outside the ring. My competitive career was marked by significant achievements, which include two national Golden Gloves placements, a U19 Silver Gloves win, five Midwest Golden Gloves championships, and ten state and regional titles. This journey culminated in a national ranking within the top 5 (1998-2006).

 

These accomplishments laid the foundation for my coaching career, which began in 2007 at the Jackson Boxing Club. In 2010, we established the South Omaha Boxing Club, a place where I can share my passion and help others achieve their full potential. My coaching philosophy centers on the transformative power of training – not just physically, but also mentally and emotionally. I believe boxing builds strong character, fostering integrity, reliability, honesty, sincerity, and loyalty. I strive to cultivate not only athletic skill but also strong bonds among teammates and coaches, mirroring the enduring friendships I forged during my own athletic career, particularly during my time with Peak. The positive experiences I gained there fuel my dedication to giving back to the next generation.

 

My coaching style is characterized by structured, disciplined, goal-oriented practices that leave athletes feeling empowered and confident. I lead by example. I demonstrate the very qualities that I encourage on myself in my athletes. More than just boxing techniques, I aim to instill valuable life lessons, fostering growth both within and beyond the sport. My ultimate goal is to see each athlete succeed, not only in the ring but also in life, carrying the strength, resilience, and camaraderie gained through boxing into all aspects of their lives. I am confident in my ability to motivate and inspire, and I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how I can contribute to your program.
