It happend to me for a long time, Ive no idea why m8 but its not unusual but once I'm in there I'm OK.
i think its the wait because it gives you time to think of the bad things that may happen rather than the good probably.
Totally natural mate.
If you were getting into a normal fight. Your fight or flight instincts would kick in, youd feel all sick, blood rushes to your hands and feet and adrenaline pumps so much boxing gms stink of the stuff.
It is a side effect of the adrenaline, and the fact that your worrying.
I dont worry too much anymore, i feel relaxed, but im a laid back sort of guy so its easier.
Youre normal Ive found that the people who are not nervous when the shit hits the fan will bottle it its a great thing to have when starting out, master it .
i really hate that feeling because sometimes i almost back out of sparring because of it
Has anyone else noticed that Relentless is a total head case?!!! JK ya man! ;)
I don't get nervous before sparring but I'll bet I would be before a real fight. Perfecyl normal. In fact, who'd your best friend? It should be Frankie Fear. ;D
The famous Cus D'Amato once said.
"The Hero and the coward both feel exactly the same fear, only the hero confronts his fear and turns it into fire."
One of the best quotes from one of the best boxing coaches.

And your there, in a different town, waiting for the your fight.
Meditation? Music? I know sleep is good, but we Amateurs sometimes don't know exactly when we fight, like the pros do. But rest is always good.
Stretches relax many people, just as Yoga does.
What do you think? ???
I know massages aren't good. heh
But I do know that come fight time, the adrenaline better be running in your blood by then... or else your not ready. ;)
Rather than feel sick i tend to need to shit or piss or even both...quite frequently. Strange tho cos i like the feeling of bein nervous....apart from the shitting etc. Bit weird init. ;D
i think feeling sick and almost throwing up is worse than needing to shit

I get it sometimes, I think everyone does. the fighting don't bother me, its having everyone watching me that freaks me out , lol the more you fight the more that feeling goes away ! but the early fights for me were nerve racking until that bell ring.. once that bell ring all that stage fright goes away !Quote:

Everybodys different, its what makes this sport a little bit special. Ive seen peoples bottle go in some strange places, even when the bell goes, and there appeard no problem before that. The first year I boxed I would be sick before a fight wanting to impress my peers to much. Winning my first title calmed me down, and relaxed me. Its that moment when you find yourself and realise your a somebody. Boxing has done that for thousands. Avery good case history, this fighter I always thought had ice running through his veins, this timein the dressing room he got a headache and said he had bad nerves I sorted the problem by massage, but he was shitting himself. He went out that night and boxed like a dream,the winner and new world champion. I said to him hows your headache, what headache scrap
yes,, trying to impress everyone and to not let everyone down.. its very taxing mentally.. like Scrap say it all passes with time.; just remember that your people are gonna love you win or lose, just go out there and have fun and relax.. good thing are gonna happen. ! O0Quote:

having the same reaction but not on the ring, when i am asked to make a speech, the world collapse in my eyes but just when the first word's out, LoL nobody can stop me,
i say it's just natural
As the song goes, everyone is different. But the common thread here is that EVERYONE gets nervous in one way or another. One of the most notable people to suffer from boxer's performance anxiety was Tyson. He would think himself dizzy about all of the bad things that could happen to him when he stepped in the ring.
"But once I step into the ring, I'm a god, no one can beat me."
Personally, I used to get into serious cold sweats even before a sparring session. I wouldn't even be thinking about anything, it'd just be the anticipation that would get me. But once I get into the flow of things, like almost everyone else, I'm completely fine.
The only thing I can tell you is that if you manage to step into the ring even after having those feelings, then you've already done more than most people could do. Most people only think about doing things, you're actually doing what you want and love. So give yourself a pat on the back for that! I'm sure with more fights, you'll be acclimated and wondered why you ever got those feelings in the first place.
it hapenned to me when i was less experienced. fight more and get used to hard blows then you will be fine.
