In this set of interviews, we’re breaking down how the BCAC rules are clipping the wings of the next generation. We’ll hear insights from striking coach, and local legend Jay Jauncey, as well as his 15 year old fighter Cameron. This episode hits hard on the struggle to find competitions for youth athletes, the risks associated with the lack of competition, and what it really takes to rise in a system stacked against you.
*The interviews refrence 2024 as thats when the BCAC rule changes came into effect, even though the indecent occurred in late 2023. Apologies for any confusion*
