The music and hype is not real
Nervousness kicking in for your big day of competition? As a promoter, my job is to hype up our upcoming event, Project Mayhem. I want people to think that this will be the biggest and most badass event. Posters, highlight videos, and different marketing tools will be used to build excitement in order to sell tickets. At the event, I’ll have the production team employ music, smoke, and maybe even fire to further entertain the audience and amplify the spectacle.
BUT
That is not my job as a coach. As a coach, I want you (the student, the developing athlete, the competitor), to see what a competition event truly is. Take away the lights, cameras, hype, drama, music, and all the other theatrics; what you are left with are two athletes doing what they already do every training session, and that is to fight. Everything else is just unnecessary noise and distraction.
The promoter will try to sell to the viewer and athletes that this will be the end all be all event. As a competitor participating in the event, you must try to look beyond all of that and see it for what it really is, two athletes fighting while accompanied by a referee, judges, and cornermen. Simple.
MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
I remember way back in my 4th Muay Thai fight when I let the lights and the intensity of the event get to me. The event was hosted by my home club, TKO Fighting Arts and it took place at Elements Nightclub. Big fancy spot lights directed at the ring, loud music, and an even louder hometown cheering your name - I let it all get to me. I went out guns blazing and gassed in the 3rd round. I was lucky enough to pull through with a victory but boy was I tired. Moral of the story? Embrace all the action, soak in the surroundings, and have fun with it but remember to keep everything in perspective. Train the way you fight, fight the way you train.
Don’t make it out to be more than it ought to be.
Two fighters, a ref, judges, and cornermen - F@&# everything else.

RECOVER FUNDS WITHDECODE HACKERSOut of experience with a couple of hackers, (three precisely),I have come to learn that you can easily tell a fake from a real hacker. I havelost money on fraudulent investments, but I have lost a lot of fake hackerstrying to get their help. It is sad and quite a helpless position honestly. Youwill spend days thinking of how you would have been a bit wiser or smarter butwhat is life? So I came across DECODE HACKERS in one of my desperate researchesand searched for help online. Their rating was high and so was their clientele. I got to involve my FBI and cyber friends to further investigate thesame. Their feedback was positive so I delved deep with Decode Hackers yearningfor their help. These hackers are as well approved by the CEH, CISSP and theGPEN. They immediately started their work. I provided the addresses and whatnot.Call me a liar, but I kid you not that my investment money was back in one day andwe recovered the rest from the fake hackers the second day. You have to trythis team of professionals if you want true urgent help. That’s my advice frommy experience. Be safe. Email: decodehacker(AT)gmail(DOT)comTelegram: (PLUS)1 (917) 384‑3379
