A
Quitter Never Wins - Winner Never Quits

Bottom
line that's the difference in the mindset between a champion
and just another fighter. The difference between winning
and losing. This is the attitude you must have to overcome
all the obstacles in your training and matches. Focus, hard
work and commitment are some of the key factors in the making
of a champion. Knowing the right way to train/condition
your mind and body will increase your odds in becoming a
champion. So how do you go about it? First it starts with
your most powerful asset or weapon you have, your thoughts.
We are all in control of our destiny because we control
our thoughts. "WHAT THE MIND CAN BELIEVE THE MIND CAN ACHIEVE"
A lot
of people do not like to hear this because it makes them
responsible for where they are at in life, it takes away
excuses for failing, not trying or giving up. It's all about
attitude that sets you apart from every one else. DO OR
DIE that is the attitude you need to defeat your opponents
in the ring or outside of it in the real world. When you
don't feel like training because you are to sore, tired
from a long day at work or your hand hurts or there are
other things you need to get done these are excuses that
you put in the way so you don't achieve your goal. You have
to train and condition your mind to focus on your goal so
you have a burning desire to obtain it.
If two
opponents of equal strength and fighting ability step into
the ring the man with the stronger mind will be victorious.
Here are some ways to train your mind to have the edge over
your opponent. Take time to visualize your match or techniques
in your mind with a clear, detailed and realistic picture
for 10-30 minutes twice a day once in the morning when you
awake and before going to sleep. This will feed positive
messages to your subconscious mind.
Find
a quiet place in your home sit or lay down whatever makes
yourself comfortable and begin to visualize. Always visualize
what YOU are going to do not what your opponent is going
to do because you can only control yourself. Visualize yourself
always moving quickly, effortlessly and being victorious,
standing over your opponent holding your arms high up in
the air with the championship belt around your waist. Visualize
as if you have already obtained your goal, SMELL the scents
of the arena. TASTE the salt from your sweat on your lips.
HEAR the crowd chanting your name. FEEL and TOUCH the championship
belt around your waist and the crowd's energy as you put
up your hands in victory. Surround yourself with positive
people who push you to be your very best, believe in you
and your goal and will help you achieve it. Having supportive
people around will help deflect negative thinking and will
rub off on you, we become who we hang out with. Read biographies
of your idols on the obstacles they overcame to get to where
they are today.
The
key to visualization is to have 100% belief and faith that
you WILL ACHIEVE YOUR GOAL and this is YOUR PURPOSE AND
DESTINY. Push away any doubt you have when it comes into
your mind or the negative thoughts will cancel out the positive
message. After a little while it well becomes easier to
believe what you are telling yourself. The mind can not
tell what is real or imagined when you keep telling it something.
You will subconsciously begin believing those messages.
attracting people in your life that will help you reach
your goal and you will begin ACTING, TRAINING and FIGHTING
like a champion.
