Yo guys/gals, hows your training running along?? Anyway, when it comes to fitness i always look to Matt Furey & his ideas & suggestions. Hence, here is an excerpt of his sharing on running your moves/actions/breathing excercises by using your CREATIVE MIND:
Why? Because when you imagine that you are doing something,
your nerves, your cells, your muscles, your brain and everything
that is part of YOU – gets the message and responds accordingly.
Even if you’re lying in bed with the flu – or something worse – you
can still train in your imagination. And doing so will have a healing
effect beyond what you can currently fathom.
Throughout history you will find many stories of strongmen who
rose from their death beds, from weak, sickly states of ill health
and became powerful.
They didn’t just survive the tough times – they thrived.
The key is understanding that success is a combination of physical
practice and mental practice. He who does both rises to the greatest
heights of achievement. In fact, in any endeavor on the face of the
earth, if you were to ask the question, “How much of success is
mental”" to those at the top – the most common reply would be,
“Most of it. Ninety percent or more.”
If this is the case, then why don’t more people learn how to harness
the awesome power of their creative imagination? It makes sense
to do so, right?

Basically, it sounds like psychology right?? Does it work?? Current UFC Welterweight champ, Georges St. Pierre (after his shock loss to Matt Serra) enagaged the services of sports psychologist Brian Cain who (in summary so as not to be a bored ass) taught GSP to train & prepare mentally beacause when ‘training (at elite level) it’s 90% physical & 10% mental. But when it’s fight time, it’s 90% MENTAL & 10% physical.’ ~ Brian Cain.
With that, i hoped you have enjoyed what you read & that it might contribute to your game. Train hard & train safe!!
