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.

My wife and I already have a career but before our baby was born, having an extra income for our growing family won’t be bad, that’s what my wife and I had thought. We both decided to invest in cryptocurrency mining and forex trading. I invested part of my savings and my wife did the same. Unfortunately, it was an organized fraudulent website, and my wife and I are now on the verge of losing 500,000.00 Canadian Dollars of our savings. It took us by surprise because a family friend suggested that platform we had invested in when we were conversing on Instagram. After many queries, we found out that our friend’s IG account was hacked from Senegal and all the money I thought we had been investing was being sent to a scammer in Africa. I found out about all of these with the help of a legit and reliable Wizard Retrive Agency on the internet. Wizard Retrive Agency can help you track and recoup lost funds from scammers so long as you provide them with valid proof you did lose your funds to scammers. We didn’t hire them to recover our lost funds at first, we only hired them for a background check about the investment company because they had asked us for the last payment of 100,000 Canadian Dollars for us to get a withdrawal permit for our investment with them and we just wanted to be sure before sending it to them. We were really lucky to have contacted Wizard Retrive Agency because we would have lost more money. Everything was a success at the end of it because we were able to get back all the money we had invested, recovered, and refunded. This testimony might just be another article to you on the internet but to me and my wife, it was the most challenging moment of our life and I am glad that my pregnant wife didn’t lose our baby because we were both emotionally deteriorated at that moment. My family will live to forever testify to the greatness of Wizard Retrive Agency, Are you a victim of a Bitcoin scam? and you wish to recover back your lost funds?
