I am looking for any articles or coaching techniques on developing the fighters mentality... without doubt... a fighters mentality before a fight plays a huge aspect upon the outcome of the fight...

I am looking on techniques and ways to improve the mental edge so that when I step in the ring I feel confident, self-assured, and most importantly... ready to turn someone's face into hamburger...

I brought this up in another post... I was raised to be very polite to people... as a child was taught it was never right to hit or hurt someone... this upbringing is seriously hurting me in the ring... I need to at least be able to seperate in the ring from real world. When I am in the ring I still see another human being standing across from me... I think I am becoming much more aggresive in the last several months... but I still do not have that spark inside of me that makes me a true warrior...

My body is banging, my skilz have improved many times over... now I need to develope the mind... I do not believe for an instance that you either have it or you don't... I believe that it can be learned and developed...

Thanks for any help you can offer...
