The Natural Resilience Podcast - EP9 with Rhys Mc Kee

from The Natural Resilience Podcast · host Natural Resilience

Rhys Mc Kee is an MMA fighter currently fighting around the world in the UFC. His journey to the top has been anything but easy. Perhaps that's what makes him one of the most grounded and humble elite level athletes we have interviewed.This is without doubt the most in depth insight into the mind of a world class fighter that you will ever hear. The mental preparation, mantras and little techniques used in the run up to a fight, flicking the switch from Rhys the father and husband to Skeletor the warrior that wants to hurt his opponent in the cage.Hear Rhys talk about picking up aspects of body language from his opponent, to explaining how he processes walking to the cage and the nirvana of tapping into his flow state where he becomes "shark like" in the cage.It may sound brutal but it is a beautiful description of the peak of human performance in combats sports.
