Prepare Your Mind for Boxing
Sarah Johns asked:
Boxing is not only about getting into great physical shape and mastering the art but to have the mental makeup to succeed inside the ring. All of us are aware that boxing is one of the most physically challenging sports that require body strength in addition to fair levels of cardiovascular endurance. What most of us fail to realize is the boxer must also have a mind as tough as the body. In boxing, you will be worm out or injured, yet will be forced to continue fighting until the bell rings. You have the option to quit, but real fighters never will.
All boxers understand the importance of running, observing diet control, and training hard at the gym. But still you find some fighters in amazing shape while others only mediocre. This is because of the mental discipline of the fighter. A day in the life of a fighter consists of an early wakeup followed by a morning session of running. Their roadwork consists of hills, sprints, and torturous intervals. The morning session is far from enjoyable, yet because of its importance, boxers faithfully follow it. When you decide to succeed inside the ring, your mind must be tough. You begin to make boxing your sole purpose in life. You have to eat, sleep, and dream boxing to succeed. Boxing is a sport for the valiant, those that are strong both mentally and physically. With dedicated training and experience they learn to overcome fear, anxiety and diffidence.
The wait in the locker room before the bout can be a nightmarish experience for any boxer. You are often left alone in the locker room, while your trainer works with other fighters from the team. There are times when you doubt yourself, even question your physical conditioning. The agonizing wait in the locker room is enough to break the average man. You have to reconcile to the feeling of sitting and waiting to do battle with another man, whose soul purpose is to knock you out. Discouraging thoughts race through your head but you should have the mental strength to remain unfazed showing no visible expression. You must shadow box to loosen the tightness of your nerves. When fight time comes, these thoughts will quickly vanish. Through experience, you learn to overcome these nervous, anxious feelings that arise before the bout. The mind is compared to a monkey and it can play tricks on you. For this reason, you must train the mind not to buckle under pressure.
Athletes, bodybuilders, fitness enthusiasts, strength coaches, personal trainers, and every one interested in training and conditioning must learn to develop the perfect mental strength. If you lose or get knocked down, you must readily get up and fight. When a boxer loses, many are quick to call them bums or over the hill. These people fail to understand that boxing is not like any other sport. It takes time to learn and master the techniques. You must learn from your losses and live to fight another day.
No external force can instill the mental toughness and work ethic required to be a boxing champion. Rather you must explore within yourself and find these qualities and build on them. It is all a question of self-belief and through sheer hard work you gain confidence in your training. Boxing is a sport that does not involve luck but rather boxing is a sport that rewards those that work hard and overcome impediments.

Why is everyone wearing jockstraps instead of compression shorts?
John M asked:
I went to the sports store the other day looking for compression shorts and couldn’t find any. I asked a sales guy and he said they only carried “sliding shorts” and thats for baseball and more guys buy jocks instead of compression shorts anymore. He said that compression shorts are kind of over with. I went to the gym that weekend and all the guys from 15-40 were wearing jocks when i walked into the locker room. Does anyone over 14 wear compression shorts anymore, or are they gone? And if they still sell them where in the heck do i get them?

Why did Belichick run off the field into the locker room before the game was over last night?
caldude1010101 asked:
1 second is 1 second. The game isn’t over. The coaches place is on the sideline until the clock reads zero.

Running off the field before the game was over made him look like a poor sport to me.
What do you think?
blackoutparty111: I saw him go congratulate Coughlin, but part of being coach is dealing with tough losses publically and being on the sideline to the end. Somebody told him that there was time left on the clock and he went to the locker room anyway. Just made him look like a poor sport in my eyes.
okay what would you take this as?

What’s up with the WWE? Why has it become so, unentertaining to some of us, lately?
Daria: The Black Parade is dead! asked:
I just wonder what is going on with the WWE. I guess Vince McMahon isn’t using his money wisely. If he is able to fire the creative team and hire a new talented creative team, why doesn’t he do that? The WWE is starting to take the mickey out of every true wrestling fan. I am being serious around here. It is appaling that it can be called sports entertainment. It isn’t entertaining to me because im a real wrestling fan. The WWE should seriously get the talents out of the locker room because i know they are there somewhere waiting to get out, be seen by the crowd and wrestle. But it is all based on money and this is what you get from the WWE. This is all what you will get from it. That’s why i tune into TNA on Saturday evenings because the talents are always out there wrestling and they have championships etc. WWE should learn from TNA which is a couple of levels below them, in my opinion.

Have a nice day!
Nice on Louis K. I agree with you. I keep on watching the WWE now and than and i keep on suffering from dejavu. Things are just the same as the 90s. Vince McMahon should know it is about 7 years passed the 90s.
Nice answer Mike J. I have to agree with the fact that he is trying to make money. Attract normal people? What’s that supposed to mean? You mean wrestling fans aren’t normal people? Haha LOL. You are probably talking about attracting random people.
I am wondering if there are any men who wish they had a smaller *****?
Razor asked:
I know some of you will think this is a joke, but I’m completely serious. I know someone who complains that his ***** is too large, much like a woman would complain if her ******* were too big. In the case of a woman, surgery could even be done to help reduce the size of the *******. I don’t believe this procedure exists for men.

My friend says having a “large one” definately hinders him, in things like sports, and basically limits his choice of underwear down to briefs — Boxers are out of the question.
He is also embarassed to be seen in the locker room, as it attracts unwanted attention. Any other guys out there?
