Often times young people tend to quit when things are tough and fold under any pressure, this is what separates winners from losers and often times individuals get caught in ruts and never recover from short comings. Not all sports require you to be ultra aggressive and often times when you are too aggressive you often times will set yourself up for failure. When fighting in MMA fighters who exhaust too much energy often fatuige themselves, boxers also who tend to be too aggressive without actually knocking out thier opponent and often times these individuals will beat themselves. So knowing when to speed up the tempo and knowing when you need to pace yourself is a skill that many people struggle with in sports.
When you do not go hard in some athletic events while your opponent is going hard it is more likely that you will be overwhelmed with extreme force and often times you will be beaten due to your non-movement. You have to counteract their movement with technique and good timing in order to keep a sustainable pace and not allowing yourself to be overwhelmed. Not all fighters, wrestlers or boxers are meant to be fast once you know your body you should use your strengths and make it a point to work with it. Often times coaches will try to have their competitor to do things they are not meant to due to the standard and not using their competitors strengths but their own.
Knowing your strengths, working on building on them and working on those weaknesses is the things that coaches/trainers need to focus on in order to build on the product. If your fighter lacks quick feet, feet work is bad or the fighter has bad movement coach needs to focus on speed ladder work, jump rope work, cone agility work and other exercises that help with the persons movement. Often times if a fighter is slower than their opponent they must find ways to slow their opponent down. When boxing often times the fighter clinch in order to lock up their opponents arms and they attempt to weaken them by doing so. In wrestling using front headlocks, plumming in and locking up your opponents wrist which often times causes your opponent to tire-er out due to the pressure. When fighting mma muay tai clinching, dirty boxing and many of the same moves used in wrestling can be used to slow down the competeion and attempt to overpower them.
So how much pressure is needed to break those who are overwhelmingly quicker and fster often relaze on your genetics and your training. If you can keep up and maintain amount of force through thewhole timesthen the ned to chain wrestle, bring compbination punches or having the right conbos in mma then the pressure can be more seamless as opposed to trying to slow their opponent down but instead looking to keep up and pass them. Often times what happens when competing your competitors have off days which they are not able to do what they normally do due to injuries, strains, fatigue and the limited amount of energy output. If you know you are not feeling well means you should alter your game to match your body’s potential.
