How it Works
Our approach is centered around a series of six transformative videos, each tailored to a specific phase of your fight day journey:
Morning Mindfulness: Begin your day with a clear mind. Our morning routine includes calming mindfulness exercises and gratitude practices to ground you and ward off nerves.
Visualization: En route to the venue, engage in strategic visualization. We guide you through a mental rehearsal of the day's events, helping you manage expectations and remain composed.
Body Scan: Find tranquility in the changing room with a soothing body scan. This exercise is designed to combat wandering, anxious thoughts and replace them with a focused, positive mindset.
Positive Affirmations: As you wrap your hands, elevate your spirit with powerful affirmations. Remind yourself of your strength, pride, and destined victory to boost morale and physiological positivity.
Double Breath: Combat pre-walkout jitters with our double inhale technique. This quick, effective method delivers oxygen and calm, anchoring you in the present moment.
Tactics and Game Plan: During the fight, remain present and mindful. We offer tips to ensure these crucial moments are lived fully, allowing you to perform at your best with confidence and clarity.
Join us in transforming your fight day experience from a daunting challenge to an empowered display of skill and mental fortitude.
Fight Day Mindset: First thing in the Morning
When you wake up on Fight Day, you can expect a rush of thoughts to pop up: the list of things you need to do, anxiousness about the fight, etc. It is important to start the day with a clear mind and something to ease the nerves. Doing a calming mindfulness exercise and gratitude is a powerful way of achieving this.
Visualisation: On the Way to Crystal Palace
You don’t want to get too excited (you want to save this for later), so this is a perfect opportunity to visualise the events of the day, and to get in some mindful reps. We visualise your arrival to the venue, and the steps leading up to your fight. If you visualise them first, they will be more manageable later on.
Body Scan: To Relax In the Changing Room
This is a good time to listen do a calming body scan. Remember your mind wants to wander and think of random, anxious thoughts. You have to counter-balance that with positive, skillful thoughts. As you settle in and try to relax before your fight, this is the time to do the body scan.
Positive Affirmations: When Wrapping your Hands
This is when we start to get more upbeat and readying ourselves for the battle. This is perfect for Positive Affirmations to remind ourselves who we are and what our destiny is. ‘I am strong, I am Proud, and I will be victorious’. Repeating Positive Affirmations also sends positive chemicals in the body - Remember this.
Doule Breath: Just before you Walk Out
This is traditionally a moment of high anxiety, therefore this is a great time to use our double inhales. It gives us immediate oxygen and is the best proven method at reducing anxiety and bringing you back to the present moment
Tactics and Game plan: During the Fight
Some tips and reminders for when you walk out. This is a great opportunity to be present and take it all in. These are precious moments and you don’t want them to be a blur. Walk with your head held high and take mindful breaths as you do.
