Dig Deep But Know Your Edge–Understand The Moving Scale
Description
In Muay Thai, you must dig deep, but do you know when to push your limits, and when to ease off to level up?
Are you the “More!” type… or the “Too Much!” type?Over the years—training myself and coaching fighters around the world—I’ve spotted a pattern.
We all live on a sliding scale when it comes to challenge.And that scale moves.
Push the edge regularly, and your capacity rises.
But let it slide for too long? It drops. Fast.
What challenged you six months ago might not touch the sides today.
Or worse—what used to be easy now feels hard again, because you’ve unknowingly slid backward.
You’re always moving on the scale.
The question is: which direction?KEY MOMENTS
