The torch… or maybe the curse 💩 has officially been passed on 😂
bryce.scott_____ represented the gym in our first ever interclub yesterday at YOUNG BULLS GYM
Many of you have heard the story of my first ever interclub. I got absolutely smashed by gastro beforehand and somehow still fought, with a nappy underneath my Thai shorts, just in case a well-placed teep unleashed the squirts into the ring.
Well… many years later, apparently it was Bryce’s turn.
He got hit with gastro leading into the fight and had dropped around 5kg from his normal weight.
But in his words, nothing had evacuated for a while, so “f**k it”. if he needed to spew, he’d spew, and he wanted to do it anyway 😅
I was sitting right on the edge between pulling the fight and allowing him to go ahead, knowing from my own experience that sometimes it can still be done.
We decided to go ahead.
The result wasn’t the one the mind so desperately wishes for, and naturally that’s the thing it wants to grab onto afterwards.
But I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the difference between wanting to be successful and recognising when you are being successful.
If success only exists at the end, winning the fight, getting the decision, achieving the goal... then we hand our entire sense of success over to an outcome we can’t completely control.
Instead, ask:
How do I know when I’m being successful?
For Bryce, I’d say:
When he consistently shows up to training.
When he listens and learns.
When his technique improves.
When his fitness improves.
When he commits to a fight camp.
When he does the work even when nobody is watching.
When adversity turns up and he still finds the courage to step through the ropes and test himself.
Yesterday’s decision doesn’t erase any of that.
The result is one moment.
The person you’re becoming through hundreds of repeated actions carries far more weight.
That, to me, is being successful.
Proud of you, Bryce!!!
And congratulations on inheriting the Nowhere Muay Thai gastro blessing 💩😂
