1. Wrapping Your Hands Wrong
Wrapping your hands right is important. It protects your hands from getting hurt. Some beginners don't learn how to wrap their hands properly or forget to do it. Be sure to watch videos that show you how to wrap your hands the right way. Safety comes first in the ring.
2. Leaving Your Guard Down
Keeping your guard up near your face protects you. But some new boxers let their guard down too soon. Imagine a bubble around your head to help keep your guard up. If you leave your guard down, your opponent might hit you!

3. Showing What You'll Do Next
Winding up big gives power, but it also shows what's coming. Practice shadow boxing in front of a mirror to fix mistakes. Try throwing punches from different angles to surprise your opponent. Do faster shadow boxing drills too.
4. Sparring Too Rough Too Soon
Save intense sparring for when you have more skills. At first, sparring should focus on form, footwork, and lightly tapping each other. Going all out too early can lead to bad habits or injuries now.

5. Not Listening to Advice
It's important to listen to your coach. Pay attention to tips from your coach and be willing to change. Breaking bad habits takes time - coaches see mistakes you might miss. Stay humble and keep practicing the basics.
