Fighter mental strength training isn’t only about what happens on the pads or in sparring. Mental strength is built over the long-term from the habits you repeat each day.
In reality, everything you do is an opportunity to either cement the identity of someone who either:
1. Avoids challenging situations or circumstances or gives up before finding their true limit, or,
2. Meets challenges head-on and only stops when physically unable to continue
The truth is, the mind quits way before the body will. And training a mind with the mental strength to find out where the limits really are, takes practice.
Take every opportunity you can to train this habit and develop a true fighter’s identity… It’ll serve you outside the ring just as well as inside it.
Check out this week’s video for tips on how to train your mental strength as a fighter.
