When you fear neither death nor Pain or Fear, what is there left to stop you. Some soldiers basically laugh with levity, saying "If I die, I die". You are actually safer that way, because you aren't burdened by the fear of death. But that also doesn't mean you have no self preservation. But what it means if your death comes from unforseen outcomes, you accept it. And try to control for known outcomes. But fear of death is a burden. Death will arrive whenever it feels like.
Like my boy Eddard Stark once said, the only time a man can be brave is when he's terrified

Also makes you feel much much much better about wherever you’re at in life. Or at least for me that’s how I felt, when I initially got into boxing I was probably mentally at the lowest I had ever been in my life. Just having something to do every single day and it FORCED discipline upon me made me feel immensely better than the depressed sad sack I was before I joined my gym. Plus just hitting people always feels good, that’s undeniable I think all boys especially need to do some form of combat sports. Even if it’s just wrestling or BJJ, made me a better person and I can only assume it would do that to everyone.

It's two fears: you could get seriously hurt and knocked out. Or even potentially die. And the other is sports anxiety--the fear that exists in every single sport we do. Only fighting and boxing will give you that fear of "I could get seriously injured and die.".

Outcomes are out of our control so just show up and see what happens. The advice that has helped me face my fears the most, especially combat fears, is to accept that death is inevitable for me once that cage door closes. I accept that I will die in the cage tonight. I am willingly giving in to death. It has completely changed my mindset as well as reduced my anxiety/stress and its physical symptoms. Win or Lose, you're chasing a passion of yours which means you're living your "why", and that's Awesome and Inspiring! Good Luck and let go to the flow. Whatever will happen, will happen, exactly as planned

May sound lame, but yoga/meditation(specifically breathing excercises) around your training sessions will change the game. When you are centred and present, the uncertainty of the future and past shrink down into the present. Gets you out of your head and into the moment. Wont take away the anxiety, but will help you understand where that energy needs to be directed instead.

Fear leads to fatigue. GSPs gas tank is just something else. Even with the fear, 5 rounds no problem
I met gsp two times walking around in Montreal. He was a gentleman and super humble.
GSP and DJ are miles and miles ahead of everyone when it comes to fight iQ and mental strength
So here's the funny thing. When he says he's afraid, he doesn't mean he's afraid of getting hit, or getting hurt. He's afraid of losing. He's afraid of getting embarrassed.
GSP, is such a likable guy.
That's honest .. the good thing is how he understands the fear and make it into dangerous weapon.
This is so on point. The one fight he wasn't afraid he got knocked out by Matt Sera. The worst thing a fighter can do is overlook an opponent no matter how much better he is
Gsp is a king of a man. More young men should look up to him
Not without a reason one of the debatable GOATs.
Not much of a UFC watcher but GSP is one of my favorites because he is truthful and is okay to admit fear. I don't blame him for not liking fighting, it is a hard industry and one obtains lots of pain from it. In my opinion he is one of the least toxic UFC fighters out there.
Samurai Champloo was awesome
Same way in business. If you are scared someone will take the market share from you, you will always be on guard and keep working like a mad man just in case your competitor is working harder than you. Huge respect. And thank you for telling us this. Respect
I am competing in Taekwondo and this is exactly how I feel every time I compete.This hit home so hard…Thank You GSP😎
Hearing all that just makes me feel good. great fighter, great heart , and probably the best ethic/mindset to have in his profession, disciplined fear definitely can be soo damn dangerous.
This is why he is the greatest to ever do it
”There is no courage without fear” - Myiamoto musashi
GSP is the GOAT
While I was in track and field I told my coach that no matter what I get nervous before each race. I'll never forget his words "Good, it means you're taking it seriously.
An abscence of fear is foolishness. Real courage acknowledges the fear and danger, and pushes through it.
GSP is the goat man, and I'm not even talking about his achievements
It’s not about losing the fear, it’s about losing the hold and restrictions fear cast over you. You become better in those moments that you confront and face down your fears
An undisputed GOAT for a reason.
Sometimes, it's more important to have something to run from rather than run towards
Fear gives men wings
The most humble BMF to ever do it..Thats how a true martial artist should be! 🐐
It's crazy that this man has literally walked through most of his opponents and spent a total of less than 1 min on his back in his whole UFC career! 🤯👌🏼
There is no courage without fear. Facts. ✌️❤️
In my senior year of wrestling and when everything feels like constant fear or emptyness, this video helps a lot. Having a legend like GSP openly express his fear is very inspiring
All i think of is the Matt Hughes fights. Those fights were unbelievable. And GSP is a legend
That's why he's one of the best ever. Honor, respect, warrior mentality
GSP wasn't the reason that I started watching MMA. But, when he came along, he was definitely the reason to continue watching MMA. So many guys out to show for the camera while Georges just trained, was humble, and game-planned for his fights like no other. You see a lot of fighters just do what they do best. Georges was like water. He turned into what you had the most trouble dealing with and beat you like a tactician. Ask Koscheck's eye.
The “fear of losing” is something that’ll never be unmatched

I find it interesting that most of these top dog fighters have come out, one way or another, and have said how terrified or scared they were before fighting. Hell, even a guy like Jon Jones has said it. It's inspiring in a different way, knowing that "fear" itself won't make you a coward. You can still choose to act despite it.
