Whether you're in sports, business or just in life being able to perform to your highest potential should be part of your daily mission, here's how you can tap into that limitless potential!!
Being a boxer don’t require all the luxurious boxing equipment, the best gym and the best trainer, it requires a strong will and heart, a desire to become the champ. Something burning in your heart, that will never go out. That is what makes a champion, with no will to become the champ, you will never succeed.
Ultimate preparation, and ultimate accountability to the flaws and holes in your own game. This applies to any field like you said, not just boxing. Id like to give a personal example. In my senior year of highschool, I set my sights on acing the national highschool advanced mathematics exam. The exam is extremely difficult and extensive, it lasts for 3 and a half hours. Everyone told me I was being delusional when I told them my goal. But I knew I could do it. In class and with my tutor(basically my coach), I adopted the mindset of not overlooking any detail, no matter how small it was. Others thought I was crazy. 2 weeks out from the exam, our tutor had us do an insanely intensive study bootcamp (basically a fight camp). We were to study 12-14 hours a day, for 14 days, and it consisted of completing old exams from the 90´s all the way up to modern day. I studied everyday for atleast 12 hours, and I loved it. I solved every exam with maximum attention to detail, and reviewed all of them, to learn the grading criteria. After a week of that, something clicked in me. I felt like the perfect score was guaranteed for me. I had achieved a sense of pure confidence in my ability, and I felt like I could slow down in my training, and until the exam I only studied about 8 hours a day. Come exam day, I didn´t feel nervous, but a sort of good anxiety. I was just eager to finally be able to empty out all my preparation into the exam and show it that it aint shit. I was just eager to see the fate i visualized unfold. I had ultimate confidence, and I knew there was nothing the exam could throw at me that I couldnt deal with. I had seen everything already. After the exam, I knew I had it. And a couple weeks later, low and behold, I got it. No1 could believe that a kid who just 2 years before was failing math could do it, but there it was. I tell you this story not to brag, but to serve as a real life of example of how anyone can tap into the champions mindset in any walk of life at any point in time. It just takes being crazy enough to believe in it, and take the plunge.
I found a gym near me so I'ma sign up get sparring and become the best there. There's some small tournaments around here too so Ill try n do that. But the main thing is one day I'ma drop by your gym. Just watching your vids you've got my respect so meeting you n training in person would be 🔥
Thanks my brotha. This is good information. I have that “sparring partner mentality” you talked about. And when I get into the ring next time I’m not gonna have any of that. I’m gonna take risks and try to setup shots. Before I would just be surviving and show my partner too much respect and say shit like “take it light” 😂 because I knew they could beat me up. But not next time it won’t go that way.
I watched yesterday video and someone told me to start so I did I got into my first fight today and I got dropped and I trained really hard but I think I’m never gonna be good at boxing
Get yourself to a boxing gym and start sparring, I thought the same thing at first, you get beat up over and over until one day you will get it, It took me about 8 months to start competing with the good guys in my gym, just stick it out and train hard and listen to everything your coach says and apply it, good luck man
dylan, i recommend that you watch a lot pro fights and start observing what they do. if you see something you like that a fighter did, stand up, visualize and try to emulate what they did.
Hey Coach V. This is more of a life question than a boxing question, but I guess it applies to the ring as well. How do you discipline your mind, the inner voice to be more specific, to become more positive and less negative? How should you fight it back? Do you need to be hard on yourself?
