i worked as a scout/gameplanner for mma fighters/camps - ask me questions
- Thread starter Devante
- Start date
any of the guys you worked with train comprehensive Muay Thai clinchwork? i.e. no underhooks but extensive work outside of the double collar tie?
how did those approach body/head kicks in their gameplan? They try to inflict substantial damage with these kicks ? Is it seen as a particularly risky technique?
Could you theoretically drop your watch in a steaming hot bowl of pho, eat the meal and still have a functioning timepiece or does it specifically have to be water?
Is Edmund Tarverdyan's head movement coaching as legendary as its told?

@Devante I coached a little too and what I always saw was managing fighters emotions leading up to and during the fight was 80% and the physical training was about 20%. What's been your approach to getting them to believe they can do the things they train to do?
When you have Diego hang upside down, is it so he gets more blood to his head and can think faster?
in my experience, its being honest w/them; a lot of camps build confidence around false narratives, and then when adversity comes they fold up or go downhill because all camp long they were told one thing..and in the fight, that thing ends up not being true.
to me its a matter of being realistic and more importantly providing context in what your drilling, what your training so that if there is a setback its not as crushing to their confidence...because they are aware of the how what and why of what they are being trained to do..
