1. Flipping The Switch
These fighters are able to train for months on end to leave it all at fight night.
As soon as the fight starts they’re pounding away at each other.
Sometimes trash talking is involved as tempers start to rise. They almost can’t seem to control it.

As soon as the fight starts they’re pounding away at each other.
Sometimes trash talking is involved as tempers start to rise. They almost can’t seem to control it.
Most of the time, they are fully in control. They’re able to flip a switch and activate all of their training.
They go from 0 to 100%
As soon as the fight is over, you’ll see them hugging each other.
Mutual respect and understanding that the fight is over.

Apply this by learning when you need to flip your switch.
When you need to work hard on something, or stop in some cases.
You can do this by:

> being 100% focused at the task at hand

2. Preparing For The Fight
Every fighter trains for years on end to get a couple of fights.
The number one thing that keeps them sane when they finally get to the fight is trust.
They trust that they’ve trained as hard as they could for the past years all leading up to now.

This is why you have no reason to be nervous about anything.
If you truly worked and practiced for the situation you’re in now, there’s nothing more you could’ve done.
You are at your peak level, why question it?
If you do question it, that means you need to go back and work.

3. Visualizing
Another tactic they use to prepare is visualizing.
Once again understanding that they’ve trained non-stop for this moment.
They’re going to throw the counter punches that they trained for when the opponent slips into the right position and strike with force.

4. Fighting Fear
One fighter said that it’s bad to hide your fears. Everyone has fear before a fight.
If you hide it, you’ve lost. Instead, use it for yourself.
Fear produces adrenaline and allows you to reach new levels of energy.
Transform this into good energy that you use
