i have a problem before i get into the ring

[fungabhai]

i have a problem before i get into the ring i tend to panick and feel abit sick (feel like throwing up) but once im in there and the trainer says to touch gloves ang go it all goes away, why the hell does that happen it annoys me!

[andysutils]

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 .

[fungabhai]

i really hate that feeling because sometimes i almost back out of sparring because of it

[Von Milash]

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.

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.

Scrap or anyone...

... do you guys know how to counter this "over scared" feeling. Sometimes it can be counterproductive... and waste valuable energy needed for the ring. I know waiting is the worst part of fighting.... so maybe I should make this a topic, because every amateur fighter has to WAIT FOREVER! Sometimes there is a 25 fight card. 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.

[ono]

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.

[fungabhai]

i think feeling sick and almost throwing up is worse than needing to shit

[Jamoie]

i think feeling sick and almost throwing up is worse than needing to shit

Not if theres no toilet in your gym

[andysutils]

i think feeling sick and almost throwing up is worse than needing to S***

yeah its a bit of stage fright. Tommy Morrison had it real bad. 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 !

[oldtownboxing]

Believe it or not, if it didn't happen, you wouldn't be fighting. You're attracted to the chemicals that pour through your body before and during the bout. I found that when I fought more frequently I went into the fight with less visits to the toilet. The only suggestion I can make is fight often.

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
