nervous about my bout

[Youngblood]

All good stuff on this from everyone. No nerves you have a problem. Not sure where you're at in your training BoxerJordan, but mattboxingfan touches on an important issue that relates to nerves and confidence..and performance. The one thing that will overcome it best. Good preparation. And for this sport far too many beginners underestimate the importance of good cardio. Often the deciding factors in amateur fights.

Now I don't prescribe to a run a few miles every day deal. But distance running isn't a bad place to start. Then move into better more explosive related things.

Hi mate.

Fear is good, it keeps you sharp mentally focussed, and improves your speed timing and power.

The more you feel scared, the more adrenalin your muscles have and the harder you will hit them.




(Even mike tyson was scared for alot of his fights)

Can't add much else to this conversation except this: nerves are good before fights, it means you're not stupid!
