The music and hype is not real

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.

If you ever need to recover your crypto wallet or digital assets, including Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, I would strongly recommend contacting Morphohack Cyber Service, a team of dedicated hackers who are reliable and trustworthy. Their team helped me recover all the assets frozen in my crypto investment account, and to this day, I am still amazed at how quickly they made it happen.
I was able to contact the Morphohack Cyber Team via email at Morphohack@cyberservices.com.
This team made me realize the importance of acting quickly if you ever find yourself in a situation similar to mine. They were very professional and dedicated throughout the process. They restored my confidence in the cyber space and showed me ways to better protect myself against hackers, crypto attacks, and other online threats.

I never imagined that a single phone call could cost me over $560,000.
Someone posing as a representative from my mobile carrier convinced me to verify my account details. Within 24 hours, my phone lost service and I soon discovered I had fallen victim to a SIM swap attack. The attackers gained access to my wallet and drained years of cryptocurrency investments and savings.
Devastated but determined to fight back, I contacted SPYHOST Cyber Service. Their team immediately got to work, analyzing my case, tracing the stolen assets, and guiding me through the recovery process with professionalism and expertise.
What seemed impossible became a reality when my stolen assets were successfully recovered. The relief was indescribable.
