Thoughts about watching your teammates fight
As an amateur fighter, you're usually not the only person your gym sends out to compete. Whenever there is a competition, you probably have several teammates competing before and/or after you. This raises the question: Should you watch their fights? Usually I do just because the anticipation is killing me, but I have noticed it inevitably impacts my mood. A win makes me feel high, and a loss (especially if it's a bad one) makes me feel down. These emotional shifts aren't always helpful, especially because fight day is already a day packed with emotion, where you just want to chill until it comes time for you to fight. So what do you guys think? Give in to FOMO, or skip watching live and just relax backstage?
