ring nerves

thanks for that...could i ask u something.when u go in the ring and your opponent is better built than u and he looks the part.does it not bother u at all.also do u find that people who say they are going to do this and that to u generally arnt very good fighters..hope u dont mind me asking you

thanku for that.... i will certainly look into it.....

I know this is gonna sound weird but it could be a medical problem. It probably isn't but its worth a shot. I had a similar problem but it doesn't just show up when boxing. If it happens in a lot of different portions of training and you stay tired after your workout for a very long time it could be vasovagal syncope. Basically your body doesn't regulate blood pressure correctly, especially in response to adrenaline and it sometimes takes a whole day to recover. That's only a distant possibility...probably just a confidence thing. The best thing you can do is find a reason to be confident in yourself or just PRETEND(to yourself) that you are confident and that you will do well. Although when people aren't confident its usually for a good reason. i bet knowign it could be some medical problem will help his confidence to :rolleyes: :D

There's no solution! Your either confident or your not, you cannot buy confidence or build confidence. It comes naturally, if it's not there then so be it. Sorry if it sounds a little ruthless or whatever, but maybe boxing isn't the thing for you. I've never been scared before climbing through those ropes, NEVER, only really excited and looking forward to hurting someone!

5ft 8 and just general boxing.no martial arts ect...i weigh about 14 stone

thanku very much..i think your right.its my confidence.so basically you have to belive in yourself and go in with the attitude that you cant be beaten.. yep that's the attitude. and like tyson said never be intimiteded by your opponent, regardless of appearence.

what's your weight and height, and what kind of style of fighting do u use?

thanku for that..is it a common thing to be scared before u go in the ring..also i keep thinking about the other person and how much damage he could do to me..maybe its just all in my mind..maybe im defeating myself before i even start i never have that problem ofcourse you know that someone can cause damaga to you, but if you know you stuff, i for example when i spar i never get nervous, that's why i don't get tired fast, no i have no fear at all when stepping into the ring because i'm confident in my ability's, on the other hand you said you just started boxing, so it's normal you should keep training and training hard and you confidence will grow.

mm yes your right..so how do i build up a mental toughness..hope u dont mind me asking you....

you have to build up i think your confidence, i can say relax etc. but you ain't gonna be relaxed if you don't enter confident in that ring. so get to no your body, so that whatever happens in the ring you will be able to handle it.
