From Bodyguard to Boxing Coach... Saving Young Lives from the Streets

One bad decision can change everything. In this powerful episode of The New Mind Podcast, close protection officer and youth boxing coach Marc Smith reveals the brutal truth about knife crime, and how discipline, respect, and the boxing ring can save lives before it is too late.

Marc has seen the devastation of violence first-hand. Now, he is on a mission to keep young people off the streets and away from knives, teaching them how to channel energy into something that builds strength and purpose instead of destruction.

In this conversation, we cover…

The real-life dangers of knife crime in the UK

Why young people are being drawn into violence earlier than ever

How boxing builds discipline, respect, and self-belief

Stories from the frontline of close protection

Practical ways parents, schools, and communities can help

This is more than a podcast episode…it is a wake-up call. Share it with someone who needs to hear it.
