My Next Fight

In four days’ time, Steven steps back into the boxing ring to put his skills and training to the test once more.  It’s a time for reflection for Steven who takes this opportunity to look back on some of the lessons learned over the past six years, and in this week’s show, he looks back at some of the highs and lows, the preparations, the body-hacks, and the reasons why he’s chosen now as the time to get back into the sport he loves and respects.    KEY TAKEAWAYS Steven hates to lose. He is very competitive and loves to win. If he does suffer a loss, then it’s important to him that he analyses what went wrong and why so that he can fix it for next time. One of the best methods of building stamina is to heel-sprint or run up a hill, which Steven likens to the sensation of being in a fight, as it builds endurance. People say you shouldn’t spar too much before a fight so that you don’t get too punch-drunk. Sparring is the only thing that can really help you mimic a fight and help you train for it. Steven advises mixing up your opponents so as to build your skills. Boxing makes you durable, and gives you qualities that can enhance your business life, your family life and your social life.  Road-running is like depositing money into a current account. The more you do it, the more cash you’ll have in that account. You’ll be running for many more miles than you ever thought possible, before you even know it. The correct nutrition can see to it that you have more energy so that you can train harder and recover faster. It can also help to disperse any toxins and aid your digestion. A great food-hack is soup! If you want something cheap, easy, nutritious, and which will help you to lose weight rapidly, try soups and cold-pressed juices! Everyone needs a purpose. The event itself is a purpose, of course, but there’s always a deeper reason, a more heartfelt purpose, behind anything we do. There are times when things get difficult. The challenges can seem insurmountable. Boxing has given Steven the resilience and the endurance to come out on the other side both physically and mentally.   BEST MOMENTS ‘As you start winning fights, the competition only gets stronger’ ‘Anyone coming into it for the first time usually has a point to prove’ ‘I hate sparring amateurs! They’re like annoying flies you can’t get rid of’ ‘it gives you that winner’s mind-set for when life gets a little bit tough’ ‘Get up early. Be passionate. Be happy, never content’ ‘You only find out who you are when you bite down on that gum-shield and face those tough, tough times'    VALUABLE RESOURCES The Steven Sulley Study Podcast    ABOUT THE HOST Steven Sulley The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success.
