    A really positive way to look at competition: 1. Every time you compete and win – you feel great and you feel like you’ve achieved something, especially if you’ve trained hard. 2. Every time you lose, you test your character and more importantly perhaps, you make someone else happy (see point 1.) It also makes…

  • Fight Nerves – Have a ‘go to’ technique

    Having ballsed-up many a fight and competition thanks to fight nerves and adrenaline, one of the things I would highly recommend to anyone else who suffers with pre-fight nerves is to have a ‘go to’ technique. There’s great potential to freeze and morph into the proverbial rabbit-in-head-lights if you get too nervous. That’s why I’d…
