Regimen Alexander Karelin - Resistance Bands?

Chael himself sort guidance from people after realising he had a mental block costing him fights.

If you actually realised that you are putting up a video of a coach, talking to a fighter about the mental game, you might understand the point...

Yea so he figured out the exact same thing im telling you. It just took a trip to a psychologist to get the answer.

I think this is the key part and is easier said than done. This is exactly where sports psychologists or even regular psychologists come into play.

If you're in the middle of a divorce(or even just having some relationship issues), parent being ill, having issues at work, your kid is acting out, etc all these issues may take their toll on your ability to hit the ball or lift the weight.

If you're able to tune all of that out and perform like nothing bad is happening then I think you're truly a special type of an athlete. That's a super power in of itself.

Lol it really isn't a superpower but rather an innate or learned trait.

No he realised that he needs to work to improve that mental game. He failed at that multiple times in his career after that video regardless of a single video you kept mentioning. He sought outside advice and passed that on in your example, but you didn't realise your own example was supporting the opposite of your position until I directly pointed it out.

Well I wonder what the psychologist told him?

Absolutely. Some people are naturally a lot better than others.

Fedor Emelianenko was a master at the mental game at his peak.

The innate part is exactly my point. It's like saying anyone can learn to shoot a basketball like Steph Curry ...this is why I called it a superpower.

Just like I am also impressed by people with very high levels of patience. To me that is likewise like a superpower.

I know I use the word 'superpower' loosely here but when it's a deficit it can seem no less impressive than a 50 inch vert.

There is difference between character flaws and physical accomplishments like shooting. Good shooters typically have a body type for it. Not everybody has the genetics to jump 50 inches other than maybe in the future gene doping but something like patience can be learned.

Just imagine Shaq in his prime training to win the three point competition. I dont think anybody including himself would think that would work out well since his free throw percentage was also abysmal.

I would also say some people exhibit better character traits in certain situations take a poker game for example. Stu Unger was the most impatient cocaine abusing person in the poker world maybe ever but at the table he was a cool as a cucumber and could basically beat anybody in the world at that time period. Having the love for something you are doing generally brings out better character traits in a given situation or sport.

All the video and I am saying is that you cannot let it affect your performance.

Nobody is embarrassed except for maybe you because insults are the refuge of a fool.

How in the world does me claiming I can total something have anything to do with this discussion? How in any way are the two things related? Any person could have got on this website and said the same thing. For all you knowChael Sonnen could be on my computer right now typing this.

BULLSHIT if that's all you were saying this would have been a very short thread, I would have agreed with you and probably just liked the post.

I'm not embarrassed in the least you are acting like a child and I'm calling you on it. I even mentioned that I thought you were smart enough to know better. If insults are the refuge of a fool I guess you just called yourself one by insinuating I was one lol.

What it has to do with is your pattern of childishness and deflection and twisting shit. I know you are smart enough to know it but go ahead and keep lying to yourself, I assume just so you can feel like you got the W somehow.
Chael didn't say what you said and if he did he would be just as wrong, what he said was things I and others have been pointing out since the start.

Well I wonder what the psychologist told him?

In the sports sphere specifically they put routines in place and coping mechanisms to snap people out of cycles of poor performance. Chael had an issue where he would have a mental break in a specific round and get submitted. He had no physical issues, he just couldn't remain in that moment and kept making a mistake that was near intentional until he addressed it.

Most likely he had something he was meant to do whilst in that position to get past that specific part of the round. He was always subbed in guard with armbars or tirangles. He had a good run until he made this same mistake vs Silva. He never fully fixed the issue, he was always finished in his losses.

Take this with a grain of salt. In my opinion mental health is almost completely fake and doctors have figured out a way to profit off people by making them believe they have problems that do not actually exist.

If you give up a home run I doubt you are going to feel good about it because that wouldnt be normal unless it was actually good pitch you threw and just got outclassed. Brad Lidge had that problem in the playoffs one year he gave up a grand slam to Albert Pujols to lose a playoff game and then he got actually put in a mental institution for a bit.

Mindfulness and meditation for an athlete kind of goes without saying IMO. I have never met a good athlete that doesn't think about what they are trying to accomplish while not currently in the physical act of accomplishing it or even during the act. Breathe control is a physical act as well. If you breathe out of control you obviously cant focus especially during the act.

Let's take for example a hitter. What should you be thinking about in the act of seeing a pitch and then attempting to hit it? Well you should trust in your training first of all while you are at the plate. Secondly, you should see ball and hit ball. If you focus on those two things you will be more successful than if you are thinking about an old nude picture of Pamala Anderson while trying to hit a 99 mph fastball or a Ohatni Sweeper. You take each pitch and moment as they come to you.

If you make it simple in your mind you will be far more successful.

Just like what Chael told Rumble you can choose to fail or you can choose to succeed. Success to you is entirely subjective though. Success to judges or your employer in the case of a professional baseball team is obviously your statistics. Failure is the most readily option available art all times.

If you actually let your emotions control your behavior then you will not be successful because you will be so focused on controlling your emotion that you wont be able to perform.

It is like obese people that eat with their emotions and get into a habit they never end up breaking whereas if they trusted principled sane food choices and diets they would be successful.

There you go, a post that makes sense and shows that you do actually have some understanding of the subject at hand, nice.

That is exactly what I am saying with your example of the track runner. Being taken out of her routine was not good for her especially if she was used to doing something specific before a race.

Baseball players are some of the most routine people you will ever meet. They often go through the exact routine each day to prepare for a game. Just go watch Major league to blow some steam off. Watch Cirano pray to Jobu and burn incense. People think these guys are crazy or superstitious but in reality are doing it to stay in routine. If you get thrown off routine it can lead to bad consequences.

From emotions being fake and sport being a purely physical endeavour to yes the mental side of sports is important.
Atleast you are consistent with the switch to a completely different viewpoint than the initial one.

going through the motions is not anymore mental than completing the same actions you would before each game or contest. You Physically have to go through the actions to achieve the best outcome. Even the pre contest ritual is physical. Remembering to eat and chew and drink the same or like foods is a physical action. The only mental part is remember how to chew, eat, and swallow. Its the same viewpoint.

That's a complete cop out from your initial position and you know it. You know that people choose those specific things because mentally they don't feel right unless they do those things. It's not the physical act, it's what it mentally does for them.

This is about finished up there is no point in talking to a rock. Good luck hitting your next PR without actually lifting the weights or eating and sleeping right but by doing it in your imagination.

 

[1rawdog]

Amazing

 

[ROcknrollracing]

Amazing

it is slightly amazing to me as well. Im trying to help out for no money except for the internet bill and you are telling me it is childish.

Im currently playing the new tiger woods game and every now and then scroll to this page between holes.

 

[ROcknrollracing]

well would you look at that!!!?????


in the meantime between winning fake golf tournament I stumbled across this gem as well

 

[ROcknrollracing]

Its almost like I discovered black gold like my ancestors did when they started the state of Texas and then gave all of it away to other people for nothing.
