Is Everyone Bigging You Up Good or Bad?

[McAlister]

Im sure this is prolly the same with some guys that are pretty good that post on here, like versa or da1 (cuz of his fit) but like.. At my gym, when I walk in they all be like pantherrrrrr here, ut oooo who sparrin panther tonight.. ect ect stuff like that, or like this older guy will come up and be like "dude how does it feel to be a role model, my son talks about u all the time.... he says look daddy this is panther style and starts shadow boxing with his hands down" and at the end of sparring sessions, bein greeted by everyone like dude ur awesome ect ect

dont get me wrong, I love hearin that **** lol... its cool n what not, but iono... I think hearing it toooo much can kindve get to you (make u think ur better than what u are), and make u big headed.... Im already big headed, and all that **** just adds to it... Yeah its motivating, & it pushes me to train harder and harder cuz I can hear them in the background while Im working the bags or mitts sayin "watch panther, thats how u suppose to do it" so knowing im being watched, make me try to do everything real hard and correctly....

but sometimes I do want to hear the negative ****, I guess thats why I post on here..lol cuz at the gym... I dont get that


but what are yall thoughts? (for those that are a lil above avg. wether it be ur punching power, speed, physical build, and looked up to at the gym) do u like all the attention u get? and do u think that makes u better as a fighter/role model?

Good opportunity for you to let me know what this was about...

It's good to a certain point. When you stop being confident and start being ****y, it becomes bad. But it definitely helps to boost your confidence.

Lol... youtube beef.. he was mad cuz I dissed em, he posted a video of him boxing some fat dude... his stance was horrible lol I think he deleted it, Ill see if its still up

I get that sometimes, but people realise what it can do where I train, so they dont say it much. But if you do something good there are plenty there to tell you it, and I find it just boosts confidence. I would confident either way though, cos usually I can tell how good I am at a sport, just by my comparitive performance to people who have done it longer.

For some people it's not good, for some it is.

For Vers, to take one example, it's not good at all. I can't be arsed to explain why but since I have the boy's mind on lockdown I'll write later about it. he needs criticism more than praise.

You I don't know, but if you're confidence comes from what the people in the gym say . . . . . basically Hoskins just said it in terms you'll understand.
