Commitment

Hello everybody, i box like everybody else, but i always find myself slacking off after a couple months of training. This might be a stupid question.... but I was just wondering what some of you more experienced fighters do to keep yourselves motivated I would love to hear some of your guy's tips

Sometimes for me, it is things, simple things, like say a good quotation...

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”

-Theodore Roosevelt

Typing out and printing your training schedule for the week helps

Every person who trains gets low and feels that they don't have the energy to train, I think thats a given.

I always find watching tapes of the better fighters makes me want to train and fight like them.

Watching a tape of Tyson will get me hyped up any day of the week.

My dream of going to the Olympics keeps me motivated, or watching a great fight and seeing the heart, will, skill, displayed just gives me so much motivation.
