You have to find ways to relate to the characters you get to play. Put it in terms and in a context that speaks to you.
I love the training, love the competition, and I still feel like I'm progressing and getting better as a fighter.
I haven't placed any limits on myself
I picture success and winning. The body has a physical response to mental images of winning.
A lot of us lead relatively sedentary lifestyles, so you have to motivate yourself and force yourself to go to the gym and do active things. The folks that have figured it out, found that thing that they love and made it a big part of their lives, it's easy for them to stay in shape.
I'm not scared to fail, I'm not scared to lose, I'm not scared to die, for that matter... It's going to work out the way it's supposed to work out.
In some way I felt I was never good enough until I started fighting. I was always striving to show my worth and value.
You're nervous because you're afraid of the outcome. Accept the worst outcome... You'll be free & fight like you're able to.
Learn from your mistakes, make adjustments, and go out and compete again. That's the mark of championship spirit.
If losing a fight is the worst thing that's ever happened to you in your life, you're doing pretty good.
You have to be true to yourself and remain humble. Whether you win or lose, you've got to treat everyone the same, and be who you are.
When people first started watching UFC, it seemed like a no-holds barred event... early on it looked like all the fighters were crazy. Actually, there are a lot of techniques, and the reality shows have let people see the fighters behind the scenes.
