To Nominate or Not to Nominate

[Dizaster]

Flip a coin?

Usually if I say to myself, "Right, this coin is the decider.. If it lands one way i'm doing this, if it lands the other i'm doing that"....

It always makes me decide one way or another... Not because the coin decides,,, but because the coin lands one way, and either i'm happy with it and like "yep i'll do that then"... Or it lands on the other side and i'm like "damn, actually you know what, I actually want to do it the other way"..

For some reason it gets deeper into your psychology and helps you find out what you really want to do...



Personally I say nominate yourself and take the fight....!

You only live once, and I think looking back in a few weeks you'll be proud of yourself... Testing and trying your skills and personality helps us grow, even if it's temporarily uncomfortable...
It's obvious that you push yourself and test yourself all the time because you have a very strong character.. And diving in head first to this will only be another character building thing in your life...

I'm sure it will be fun..... And how many girls ever get to go up and do an important presentation with a red and purple mouse under their eye?

ummm, not that that is probably a good experience... but you know...

Thats a tricky situation Sharla.

If it were an amateur bout I would take it for the expierience, however, if it were pro, I would shy away had I not trained diligently first.

Sharla, as long as you're training and sparring you will be developing and avoiding ring rust, don't jump into a fight for the sake of being active.
You always remind me to tend to my education before I tend to my boxing.

You'll need time to prepare your presentation and as with boxing, get in the mindset, for your presentation.



Whatever you choose, good luck and keep us posted

Wow that was 10 times better advice than mine... and with half the words

My only real concern would be the weight loss,if you think you can bring it down with diet and excercise,instead of sauna suit and spit cup,your going to have to get used to taking fights last second anyway.
Might as well do it in the amateurs
Heck B-hop won his 4th pro fight on a fight he took that day,he was sitting at home in Philly,got the call,drove to NY and knocked the guy out

Thanks for the advice guys. It turned out my circumstances made my decision for me because I just couldn't get to training enough in to nominate but it turned out there wouldn't have been a match for me anyway! Oh well - there'll be another show another time!
