Weight management is an important part of all combat sports. Balance is necessary to make weight while maintaining energy. I recognize that my body needs the right fuel to perform at my best. Whenever I’m tempted, I always tell myself “No food tastes as good as winning feels.”
In Earth’s history and in sports history, the species that doesn’t evolve, perishes.
So next time you’re thinking about skipping a workout, think of this, you’re either getting better or getting beat, because if you’re not evolving, your dying. Get to work.
