\"Mike<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I come out I have supreme confidence but I\u2019m scared to death. I\u2019m totally afraid. I\u2019m afraid of everything. I\u2019m afraid of losing. I\u2019m afraid of being humiliated. But I\u2019m totally confident. The closer I get to the ring the more confident I get; the closer, the more confident I get. The closer the more confident I get. All during my training I\u2019ve been afraid of this man. I thought this man might be capable of beating me. I\u2019ve dreamed of him beating me. But that I\u2019ve always stayed afraid of him. The closer I get to the ring I\u2019m more confident. Once I\u2019m in the ring I\u2019m a god. No one could beat me. I walk around the ring but I never take my eyes off my opponent \u2013 I keep my eyes on, even if he\u2019s ready and pumping. He can\u2019t wait to get his hands on me as well. I keep my eyes on him. I keep my eyes on him. Then once I see a chink in his armor, boom, one of his eyes may move, and then I know I have him. Then when he comes to the center of the ring, he still looks at me with his piercing look as if he\u2019s not afraid. But he already made that mistake when he looked down for that one tenth of a second. I know I had him. He\u2019ll fight hard for the first two or three rounds, but I know I already broke his spirit. During the fight I\u2019m supremely confident. I\u2019m moving my head; he\u2019s throwing punches. I\u2019m making him miss and I\u2019m countering. I\u2019m hitting him to the body; I\u2019m punching him real hard. And I\u2019m punching, and I\u2019m punching him, and I know he\u2019s not able to take my punches. One, two, three punches; I\u2019m throwing punches in bunches. He goes down, he\u2019s out. I\u2019m victorious. Mike Tyson, greatest fighter that ever lived.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

When I read that quote above I can hear my heart beating faster and faster as I visualize getting closer and closer to the competition floor– and as I step on the floor all the tension vanishes and I am… Supremely Confident. Tension, fear, preparedness, acceptance, peace.<\/p>\n
