Semester proposal

My semester proposal will attempt to bring amateur boxing to the Golden Dome.  Amateur boxing is a sport that harnesses the disciplines if combat, when cultivated properly, gives a young man or woman a focus that can be transformed in any realm of life.  Most combative sports require a great deal of mental strength that can easily be applied to the classroom.  It has been widely accepted that young students who are members of extracurricular activities are much better students than those who don't.  Sports and academics go hand in hand because of the discipline needed to manage your time, as well as taking your studies to new heights because it's necessary to participate in the extracurricular activities that the young person wants to be involved in.

While all sports require a modicum of discipline, there are very few that can bring amateur boxers in touch with the emotions of centuries old combat that make them successful both in and out of the classroom.  I would like to see an evening of boxing at the Golden Dome, so the college campus can experience and appreciate the art of self defense, skill, dedication, and entertainment that comes with amateur boxers.  The sport is currently not a part of Rutgers sports program, but perhaps like many other higher education programs, we can entertain bringing boxing to the University.amateurboxing.
