How much did gymnastics help Islam is being P4P#1?

Would world class gymnasts be more suited for MMA than, say, NBA players? Or NFL athletes?

Would Simone Biles absolutely destroy in WMMA?

It's interesting.
Biles might be a gymnastics goat but she dropped out of some Olympic events to have a mental health day, I'm not sure if she'd the mindset if she was getting a beat down to keep going.

Rapid positional adjustment while changing directions and planes is very useful for wrestling.

I dunno man. A Dallas Cowboys player just offed himself last week. I don't think many people understand what strong mindset means because they only see the surface of the iceberg.

I had nurses quit after 2-3 pediatric expirations in the ER setting because they "couldn't take it" and people sounded off on how they couldn't handle it. After about four dozen I ended up in rehab and having to have a system reset. Other nurses I know had mental breakdowns and had to switch jobs. Some just had dysfunctional coping mechanisms overall. Looking back I'm beginning to suspect the ones who left early were smarter with healthier coping mechanisms and better self-awareness.

Maybe you're right re: mindset and beatdowns but maybe knowing your limits is how you don't end up like Conor, for example.
