Pre fight nerves. The moment you realize you're actually about to get into a fight with someone that's been training and game planning exclusively to hurt you.
I'd have thought the anxiety and pre fight nerves would lessen with the more experience I get. I was wrong. For each fight the stakes are higher, the crowds are bigger, and the with the increase in exposure and notoriety, the expectations grow larger.
What changes is how you teach yourself to manage and adapt to it. The mental game can make or break your career as an athlete.
