ONE: Improve your self-awareness with quietude

Self-awareness is a vital part for high performance and well-being. That means learning to notice the thoughts and emotions you’re experiencing. This is important for fighters as moments before you get in the ring you are totally alone with your thoughts and emotions. These moments can be critical; so create moments like this in your daily life. Spend 3 minutes a day just sitting with no distractions and just notice what thoughts and emotions come up. Once you have noticed them; redirect your focus on your breath or on the parts of your body in contact with the chair or floor. Start with 3 minutes and build it up to longer. The point is to practice non-judgement of thoughts and emotions and improve directing your focus; this will help you do the same before the fight.

TWO: Refocus on the process with a clear fight plan

Before training or a fight, if you notice unhelpful emotions or thoughts; try not to judge them as good or bad, just notice what they are and then refocus on what you have to do in the moment practice this non-judgemental approach and then refocus on what you have to do in that moment; if it is before a fight refocus on what you have to do to win; e.g. coming forward, responding to every kick, etc. I find doing this whilst shadow boxing before a fight extremely helpful to keep me focused on my game plan, my strengths and brings me back into the moment instead of getting lost in my own head.

THREE: Use cues to direct your attention

If you find your mind wonders a lot use cues to bring you back into the moment. That can be putting something visual on your gloves or arm; stamping your feet or hitting your gloves together; these are all things you can practice using in training. Using cues means you don’t get caught up in unhelpful thoughts or emotions; and helps you to refocus on what you have to do in the moment.

Main Takeaways

Nervous and doubts are part of our survival mechanism and every fighter experiences them to different degrees. The more you fight thoughts and emotions the stronger and more stuck you become. Practice noticing your thoughts and emotions without judgement and refocus on what you need to do in the moment. Using cues can help you to refocus.
