We need to talk about fucking around. It's not about being lazy or feeling tired all the time.
It's something that has a 2000 year old history.
The ancient Spartans had a saying:
The more you sweat in training, the less you bleed in war
I remember training with one of my friends in preparation for our fight. He said: "I like training with you because you're always fun outside of the ring, but in the ring you're all business".
So it pisses me off when people just fuck around in training exercises.
Walking really slow on the sidewalk.
When speaking, making sounds like: uuuuuuum.... auuuuuuh.....
Needing motivation to even wake up in the morning.
It's unbecoming.
If you treat training as if it's fake, as if it's just something to tick off your todo list... you're going to get your shit kicked in when things get real.
Imagine being a fighter and not training. You'll get KO'd by the ring girl.
Imagine being a baby and not crying. You'll never get what you want.
Imagine being a politician and doing nothing real. You'll get elected again.
You're supposed to treat this as real. Because I'm trying to help you not to fuck up in real life.
And the more you apply these lessons, the longer you're gonna feel fulfilled.
So, moral of this story
"Sweat in training so you don't bleed in war"
