Ever wonder what to do I do about being nervous or anxious about an upcoming bout, here's how to handle it‼️ if you have any good pre fight stories drop em in the comments ‼️ #nodaysoff🥊📈💪🏽
Fear of humiliation was a huge hurdle for me at first. I trained hard, worked my ass off, but became overwhelmed by that fear. Finally I realized everyone is scared, we all have our reasons for it, and that it's ok.
Same bro,same, and i was trying to fake it and lying to myself and there was no progress, but when i started accepting it and realizing the issue and the fact that i was afraid i started working on it and seing stuff clearer
@@ShinmenTakezo. First thing is mainly sparring, a lot of it ,and preferably with guys u never spared before. it will boost ur confidence a bit,but don't be cocky , there's ALWAYS something to work on, so keep working on ur game,and when u get comfortable in sparrins, try new things, new skills, techniques, combos... u think will work on the ring . Next u need to work on a backup plan or the basics in shadow boxing so much until it becomes graved on ur mind and body, like Unconscious reaction or ur second nature, so when u get lost or overwhelmed, u just go basic, u do what u have been repeating in the gym hours and hours without hesitation about stuff and just doing instead of thinking. So yeah, this is what I'm working on rn, hope someone finds it useful
I wrestled my whole life any time I felt really nervous that the opponent might beat me warming up was my go to slapping my legs to turn that fear into anger as well great advice coach my only fear ever was losing in front of family you hit the nail on the head 👏
I really appreciate you addressing this. I have recently decided to commit to a gym for mma. I’ve spent about 7 months getting in shape and studying fundamentals and I know I look the part and know the sport. The only part that has delayed me is just being in the actual ring, having that killer/survival mentality and knowing the person across is going to have the same. Mindset training is definitely important and I really took this video to heart💯
Love this video.. my first time sparring I was shaking nervous. A few months later when I recovered from a hamstring injury I was nervous as fuck again... it's a matter of facing/overcoming the first few punches to the face 😅. Hell, I even got dropped when I got back in. And that's when I realized I got nothing to be afraid of or be nervous about. The last time I sparred my hands were flying. Although my ass burned out (need more conditioning) I felt so much better. Coach tells me all the time that it's normal. Love this ❤
Coach, this is exactly(!) what I needed to hear. Been boxing for about 1 1/2 years and feel like my sparring game has been getting the best of me mentally and I didn’t know how to address it. You are on point man, much love from Australia 🥊🥊
Damm I needed this I have a fear of getting beat up and fighting , So I recently went to go enroll in boxing but the thing that I’m kinda scared of now is fighting another person what if this and this happens yk
@@coachv3436 I actually don’t even think my comment did it justice dude that was a real issue I didn’t know how to handle and watching your video made me realize that’s just adrenaline I always thought was fear and I was going to lose the fight (street fight, not a box nor am I confrontational actually super passive but I think cause I have a fear of losing) I didn’t realize that everyone experiences that but pushes through it at times I always thought they were just more confident in their fighting skills but maybe it’s just being able to pass that fear and do what has to be done. From all the TH-cam videos man I feel this one is like top five in helping me in life just kind of realizing you can do something you just have to stand up and do it before you fill your head up with negative thoughts. Great video man subscribed liked it all that hahaha really enjoyed this video and wins and losses just these type of videos in general are great man you should make a playlist of these type of deep talks.
@@mmafox8954 Haha, thanks I'm on it brother. I'm glad you could get something from it, I really enjoy hearing your perspective thrown back in your own words💯💯💪🏽
@@coachv3436 you seem to be really present, I’d recommend listening to the power of now on audible I think first one is free I think you’d really like it and if it’s trash and you dislike it I’ll zelle you for the bad recommendation lol I really do think you’d enjoy it brotha
Great video Coach! I do have a question I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I have fears (blocks) any suggestions on how to get to the root. Thanx great content.
I sparred with my brother, and he was hitting hard at me. I was just circling around him. He told me to quit being scared when I can't really help it since it has been so long since I fought someone. Once I felt that first hit to the face, I started to lose my composure. I be practicing my boxing, but when it came to fighting my brother, I forget everything I learn, and my fear starts to get out of control. It's really hard to control this. 😫💀😩
Coach V. I echo what lots of others think & have expressed… great channel with not just technical aspects of the sweet science but, mental, emotional, all-encompassing aspects of boxing / life in general. It’s that well-rounded approach that’s got me hooked on your channel for being straight up & helpful. My son will be 10 yrs. old this September…wants to check out boxing , wish we had you as a Trainer Coach V. Keep up the gret work !
Fear is part of it but the other side is the technical aspect, make sure you record your sparring sessions and every time you get hit watch it in slow motion and you will see what you should have done and know what to do to correct it once you have both under control you’ll see a much better outcome!!
I’m a beginner. I’m No longer scarred to get hit because I’ve been hit in sparring & doing the mitt work. But due to me being a beginner & having bad habits like turning my head. It looks like I’m scared. Will this getting better with time & practice ?
I don't know if its fear Coach V or my lack of confidence, because my anticipation of punches is not good. i slap myself in the face everytime before im ready to spar. But i have this fear that im always going to lose. Because it seems like im always losing rounds in sparring.
The best way to inoculate yourself to those situations is to get in the ring with someone you trust and have them throw shots at you medium speed until you get used to the volume the distance and the reflexes needed to stay safe!
I train hard, I'm motivated by adversity and getting beat makes me want to train more. However, I go home from sparring with a sore body and busted up face - nothing extreme, but the expected niggles from boxing - and I can't let go of the thoughts of: are my organs being damaged, am I damaging my brain over time, and the thought of losing brain function or any kind of body function and becoming a vegetable or a burden on my family into the future is what I fear. And I don't know whether I should quit to another sport, or what to do. I don't fear getting hit or knocked out when fighting, I love the fight, getting hit fuels me to train harder... But I just don't know if the sport is good for me. I'm 27, I'm not getting paid for boxing, and I'm a teacher
I feel the same way. I go home after sparring with my head down sometimes. I feel like maybe I'm not going to be as good as I think I can be., because my head movement iis what I need to work on. But the next day I tell myself. Don't give up. just work harder. I have headaches after sparring sometimes. I thi k to myself is it worth taking to much punishment
Been boxing am for 10 yrs but never consistent only have 8 am fights but build a lot of talent but on the journey about to turn 25 and my coach is really working to turn me pro is my age a big factor coach V !?
What age is too late to start learning to box seriously? As an amateur, and then possibly turning pro (if I’m any good)... for context, I just turned 35 in February... and I want to sooo bad but I feel like I’m just too old @ this point... @coach v
It all depends, starting from scratch that is quite late but if you get into a good gym and are exceptionally healthy and can learn quickly you can definitely get a 5 to 10 year run with careful matchmaking. Best of luck! #nodaysoff🥊📈💪🏽
@@javivazquez3082 ain't boxing tho we ain't running we fighting I don't feel like roadwork helps your stamina in the ring but you think I can tell em tho without getting kicked out from a serious gym.
@@comosediceesoo681 true but I think road work takes the best out of the boxer and I mean it does help with stamina if we being real running is good man. yeah but no we all prefer treadmill or short sprints instead of road work I get it man.

Coach V I'm in NYC Queens. Maybe I can come up there to train for the day. I need to work on my defence Coach V it's like somebody throws 3 punches before I even see the first one.
