That's an interesting question, Trach.
No. Not when I am in the ring.
Rather when I am at home and thinking "What am I doing this for?"
It's like two different realities for me.
I know that in fights you start with a plan and pursue that plan while reacting to what happens. But, you start with a plan. And you plan your reactions. You even plan for unknowns like a lucky punch.
So, treat it like a bout. Plan. Know why you're stepping in the ring. Everyday for me it's about collecting money. My jobs what most people would call a misery. It gets me steady income and traction in the local job market. That why I do it. I know that every day.
So plan. Know. Do. Step in the ring.
