Channelling Your Fight Into Positive Directions - with Abass Baraou

Abass Baraou is a German professional boxer who has held the WBC International light-middleweight title since 2019. As an amateur he won a bronze medal at the 2017 World Championships and a gold at the 2017 European Championships, both while competing at welterweight. Abass joins Steven to talk about the toughness and mindset required to be the best in the ring, what has driven him to the top in the world of sport, the struggles he has faced in life, and how we can channel our energies into more positive directions. KEY TAKEAWAYS  If you are a boxer and have achieved the mindset needed to step into a ring, then you are at the pinnacle of your prowess. It takes a tough mental game as well as many sacrifices. Growing up in Germany, Abass faced much in the way of racism, but used his fighting skills to overcome the bullies. However, violence only led to trouble in other areas of life. Channelling his skills into sport instead, proved to be the best outlet. During our formative times in life, we should follow our instincts towards the pursuits that walk in sync with our souls. Find the path that makes you tick and follow it through. BEST MOMENTS 'The mindset of an athlete and the mindset of a business person - there are so many similarities' 'I always had something in me' 'It was about being number one - it was about being tougher' 'I was at the age where I needed to find a path' VALUABLE RESOURCES The Steven Sulley Study        Abass Baraou Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/abassbaraou/?hl=en ABOUT THE HOST The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success. My view is you should have multiple focuses to be a well-rounded individual. Success shouldn't be just one thing like money, for example, it should also consist of a healthy fit lifestyle and thriving relationships. As a person who has made a success in life and also made huge cock-ups I feel I can offer suggestions and tips on how to become successful or at least start your pursuit. My 'Study' has taken resources from reading and education plus being around, my perception, of successful people and I, know a lot of successful people from all walks of life. My 'Study' coming from my experiences in business, investing, sales (my core background), training, boxing and education has enabled me to become well rounded and successful and I will help you in these key areas too.
