Let’s hear where everyone’s at. Share one thing you moved forward this past week, however small. Then tell us one thing you’re stuck on or could use help with. It could be getting feedback on something you’ve made, finding the right person to contact, or figuring out how to fit the work into your week. Keep it simple: • My win: • I could use help with: Read the other replies too. If you’ve dealt with something similar, share what helped you. A useful suggestion or introduction could save someone a lot of time.

I’m starting to feel sick, so I’m taking a step back from training for now. I don’t want to turn a few rough days into a longer setback. I can still use the time well. I’m going to study fight footage, look closely at how fighters create openings and control distance, and build out the training programs I’ll use when I’m ready to get back to it. My goal hasn’t changed. The work just looks different this week. How do you stay connected to your goal when you can’t do your usual work?

Got my album cover finalized, and sekected a music distribution company. Planning to start the upload process this weekend #neverstopneverstopping

I drove to the gym tired today. I’d kept waking up last night, and I knew I had a private session with my Muay Thai coach, Soutchay, waiting for me. Soutchay is in France, so we train over video. He’s been doing Muay Thai since he was five. I’ve been working with him online for the past two or three months because I want to learn from the best, regardless of where I live. My goal is to go far in this sport, and I’m hoping to fight this coming February. Today we worked on clinch, elbows, knees, feints, angles, and putting it all together. We started with five minutes of skip knees. I was using too much muscle and making them harder than they needed to be. When the five minutes ended, I was relieved. Soutchay wasn’t satisfied. “Use the rebound. Turn your hips. You should be able to do this without getting tired. Do it again.” So I did. Minute by minute, I started to feel the difference. The technique clicked, and I could throw the knees with speed and power without forcing every movement. We took that into clinch work on the teardrop bag, then feints, angles, and live rounds where I had to put it all together. Afterward, we talked about what comes next. We’re adding ten minutes of ab work: one minute of plank, one minute of reps, alternating until the ten minutes are done. These sessions are already making a difference, and I’m continuing with two training sessions a day. Years ago, an injury kept me from fighting for five or six years. I became a coach so I could stay in the sport while I worked my way back. During that time, I watched old teammates and friends turn pro and do great things. My own goal stayed with me. I still believe my day is coming. But belief alone won’t get me there. Today’s work, tomorrow’s work, and the days when I show up tired all count. That’s what Proof of Ambition is for. What goal are you working toward, and what are you doing for it this week?

A big goal can feel far away. This week, bring it down to actions you can actually complete. What are you working toward? What are three things you’ll do in the next seven days to move closer to it? Be specific enough that you can come back and say whether you did them. You don’t need to feel motivated every day. You need to know what the next step is and make time to do it. Post your three actions below. Next week, come back and tell us what got done, what didn’t, and what you learned. I’ll do the same.
