So a couple takeaways
This is after reviewing myself in footage:
Feet Got Flat
Head Movement Non Existent
Overextended gates
Control Game Mediocre
Took Too many Hits
Hands down more then needed
Wouldn’t be Exhausted after what is technically only 6 rounds
Defense: D
Jabs: D+
Gates: C-
Key Combos: D
NOW THIS IS TRUE! BUT IM SURE MY STUDENTS WOULD THINK OTHERWISE! Based on their performance in relation to me!
So here is the issue! COMPARISON BECOMES A CRUEL MISTRESS or THE SPECIAL SAUCE TO GETTING BETTER! COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS…you lose…COMPARE YOURSELF to yourself IMPROVEMENT
If this become your psyche your run the risk of destroying yourself everytime you face someone with more skills then you. BUT IF YOU ask yourself did I do better then last me you WILL IMPROVE!
Now check this out with comparing myself to myself
Caught myself Being More Flat Footed. Work On Gates
Remind yourself to move your head to get hit less
When working on Gates make them simple
Work on Controls during shadowboxing
Improve defense by increasing rounds of working on defense
Drill high hand coverages
Increase Cardio
Let’s Get All C’s on Report Card This Week
Notice the difference, same critic but one is under the lens of improvement not tearing down! Keep this with you and you will always grow in this sport!
