The way this question is framed suggests you might be hitting the same wall most people hit with boxing.
Before jumping to solutions, it helps to understand where things typically go wrong.
**Most likely culprit:** neglecting the fundamentals. This accounts for roughly 54% of cases I have seen.
**Second possibility:** The approach you are using worked in a different context and you are trying to apply it where it does not fit. adult has specific conditions where it works well and conditions where it falls apart.
**Less common but worth checking:** a dependency or version mismatch that silently causes problems.
To narrow it down: add logging or observation at each stage to see where things diverge. That will tell you which of these you are dealing with.

Honest take, because I wish someone had told me this earlier.
Everything you will read about boxing will make it sound more complicated than it is. Here is what 5 years of working with adult has actually taught me.
The people who struggle most are the ones who overthink the entry point.
What actually moved the needle for me: I stopped trying to understand everything before starting, and just committed to one focused hour a day for a month. After that, improved my time by 12 seconds.
The one thing I would prioritise: do not compare your beginning to someone else's middle.
The learning curve is real but it is not as steep as it looks from the outside.
