Since California is so expensive, Kongo is finishing the rest of his camp back in the UK and leaves tomorrow. From now until the 21st of April, it would have cost him a minimum of $10k just for housing exceeding his camp budget way over cost. It would be about 25% cheaper in the UK. Today he asked me to go and the compensation would be GREAT since he see's me more than his other trainers (he's with me five days per week). At this point his conditioning is off the hook with his sparring sessions lasting one full hour non-stop, as well as his strength (435lbs squat, 465 x 2 on DL) he has never been this conditioned or strong. His entire camp will cost him around $30k.
Obviously the money would great, but with my son starting his baseball season and leaving my business in someones else's hands + being gone for over a month in a half would take it's toll emotionally. I told him (of course) it's waay too short of notice with family and business. If I go, looks like I would wait at the beginning of April, but even then, I hate to leave my family even for 2-3 weeks. Shit, I have never gone more than 3 days without seeing my boy. This is an emotional decision.
Thoughts? (and not from the usual assholes)
