MEET THE COACH
David Carey is the program director and head coach of the Alaska Boxing Academy, a nonprofit program benefiting the youth of Anchorage. He is a former athlete of the USA Boxing organization and member of the 2008 Olympic Boxing Team that traveled to Beijing, China.
As a boxing coach, and drug and alcohol prevention and intervention instructor, he has built a positive relationship with the youth within the Anchorage community. He has been able to help them grow and learn life skills in both fields of work. He believes that blending his love for boxing and his love and experience dealing with at risk youth, he can teach physical fitness in a healthy and controlled manner while encouraging positive decision making to physically and emotionally healthy young adults that can in turn give back to their families and community.
