Have you listened to the FULL EPISODE yet?
"In boxing, I never feel how it's like to feel that fear. I always enjoy it. My favorite day, my favorite thing is sparring days and a fight day. I just enjoy it a lot. I enjoy it. And I never have that experience to feel the fear or something." - Canelo Alvarez
In this riveting episode, boxing superstar Canelo Alvarez offers a rare glimpse into the mindset of a champion. With disarming honesty, Alvarez reveals his unique relationship with fear - or rather, his lack thereof - in the ring. He describes his love for boxing, particularly sparring and fight days, as a source of joy rather than anxiety, challenging common perceptions about the emotional toll of high-stakes competition.
Alvarez's approach to preparation and performance is equally fascinating. He shares his strategy of visualizing success while maintaining a remarkably relaxed attitude on fight days. Despite the immense pressure and global attention, Alvarez treats each fight as "a normal day," focusing on his training and game plan rather than external factors. His ability to compartmentalize and stay present in the moment offers valuable insights for anyone facing high-pressure situations. Through Alvarez's words, listeners gain a deeper understanding of the mental fortitude required to reach and maintain world champion status in one of the most demanding sports.
