I thought I'd start with a funny video clip for the first fail blog post (I have 100s of these.. unfortunately... some better, some worse-- but almost all worth the lesson).
What happened? I sparred a guy without communicating before how intense we should go.
I started getting the best of him, felt technically better-- and instead of communicating when things started heating up (I had also just recovered from two other injuries..) I kept my mouth shut, got overonfident-- then zigged when I should've zagged...
And after all this, this mother-effer (the Doctor) had the audacity to ask me if my nose was straight in the first place... lmao. Fail.
Reminders going forward:
- Competence builds confidence
- Confidence is a super-power
- Humility must always walk hand in hand with confidence
- Don't drop your hands, stupid. Haha
