<\/a>By Tyler \u201cThe Miracle Man\u201d White<\/strong><\/p>\nOver the past 9 years, as I\u2019ve been training in both boxing and kickboxing, there\u2019s one thing I\u2019ve noticed that seems to affect a lot of the people that I\u2019ve either trained beside or who I teach.<\/p>\n
That one thing is: people feeling sorry for themselves\u2026<\/p>\n
People complaining that things are \u201ctoo hard\u201d or that they \u201ccan\u2019t do it\u201d or that they\u2019re \u201cfeeling stiff\/rusty\u201d.<\/p>\n
Whilst a session may be hard, while you may feel like you can\u2019t do things particularly well or whether you are feeling a bit stiff, the fact of the matter is in a sport like boxing there is no room for thoughts like that and the only thing you can do is, as I say, \u201ccrack on!\u201d.<\/p>\n
It may sound a bit harsh, or even unsympathetic, but in a combat sport your opponent is always looking for flaws in your performance.<\/p>\n
That man\/woman opposite you is looking for any advantage they can get, whether physical or psychological and so if you show it, they\u2019ll sure as hell see it and take advantage of it.<\/p>\n
Boxing is a hard sport and it\u2019s an art that should not be taken lightly.<\/p>\n
Training should be hard.<\/p>\n
Boxing is not easy!<\/p>\n
Accept that, as a fighter, and carry on anyway\u2026<\/p>\n
As a fighter, you have to be an actor too. You must work on disguising your fatigue, your pain and your fears. As soon as these signs are given away, your opponent will smell blood and make everything ten times worse for you.<\/p>\n
The best thing you can do, if you\u2019re serious about competing (at any level), is put in the work and accept that you\u2019re not going to feel fine and dandy!<\/p>\n
Do not feel sorry for yourself, because your opponent wont and that\u2019s a fact.<\/p>\n
My advice for any fighter, or aspiring fighter, is to accept that you cannot feel sorry for yourself when it comes to boxing – in training or in a contest.<\/p>\n
Accept that and you\u2019ll do better than most!<\/p>\n
