Something To Ponder When You Spar!
Nature rewards Outcomes Not Hard Work
Has this ever happen to you where you are
Thinking about your opponent and what they are going to do,
Then suddenly you shoot back into your brain trying to remember a combo to throw,
Then your opponent decides to move in the midst of that thought, so then you have to address what they are doing
By The time you figure it out you get hit!
Then for whatever reason the process starts all over again!
Now your left in survival mode saying Hit him now or Watch Out!
Just typing this made me exhausted! Lol Truth is that is all Hard work, and as you can see it does nothing!
Now on the flip side!
Have you every just thrown a punch and didn’t know if it was going to land and yet it did
Baffling because it felt like it wasn’t even you that threw it.
If you haven’t experienced that then what about when a coach or someone tells you DO THIS! And sure enough it actually worked
So let’s make sense of this conundrum. I get hit if i think too much, but i do better when I’m not thinking, but isn’t Boxing A Thinking Mans Sport!
Solution: Thinking and Obsessing are TWO DIFFERENT THINGS! To Think is to Ponder and to Obsess is to hold on to a particular outcome that may or may not happen. THIS GOES AGAINST NATURE!! So in boxing
How not to Obsess: STRUCTURED PLAY!! Or SYSTEMATIC FUN!
Notice how these Plants grow freely yet they follow a very specific system on how they develop(Phosynthesis)
I.e: 16 Round system!
4 - Defense/Gates/Feints
4- Jabs/Defense/Gates/Feints
4- Key Combos and Key Concepts
4- Play(Shadowbox,Pads, Heavy Bag, Partner Drill etc)
You will always resort back to the level of your training, BUT GET THIS IT GETS DEEPER!
In Basketball and Football they have many different defenses and coverages. So does Boxing!
BE READY FOR THIS NEXT WEEK! ITS GOING TO BE REVOLUTIONARY!
