Is Winning Enough?

by Corey Beasley

Combat sports like MMA, wrestling, jiu jitsu, muay thai, boxing and others require a combination of strength, speed, power, skill and technique that can take many years to develop. Years of consistent training can take it toll on the body and mind. Long hours, aches, pains, injuries and other distractions can become discouraging, if we lose focus on our goals. So here is my question:

What factors create champions?

While some people show up and work consistently, others constantly struggle to stay focused. We all have good days and bad days, but champions keep charging forward, regardless of life's obstacles.

  • What do you think causes inconsistency?
  • How can we become more consistent?
  • Who's holding you accountable?
  • Are you tracking your progress?
  • What motivates you day in and day out?

Think about it for a few minutes and really think about the guys that have been consistent for the last few years.  Think about the guys and girls that came and went.  Why do some stay, work hard, sacrifice and improve, while others struggle with the entire process?
