Laser Like Focus - From Walking on Fire to Winning in the Octagon!

By Tony James Mills

No matter what your sport is all the great champions will tell you that having great mental focus on what you want to achieve is essential to reaching your goal of being a winner. If you are serious about competing in anything, then picking up some biographies of some of the previous champions will certainly give you some insight into what it took for them to get to the top and the level of focus and mental power the had to use.

One of the most internationally well known and famous motivational speakers and coaches the world has ever seen must be Anthony Robbins. Anthony Robbins is well known for his seminars and high profile clients. But some may be surprised that some of his recent clientele have included a number of those in the MMA business. Even the legendary former UFC light heavy weight champion Chuck Liddell has been spotted alongside Anthony Robbins. That should be enough for most fighters to want to seek out his advice. Then there is also Dan Caldwell aka 'Punkass' the Vice President of Tapout the MMA clothing superstars who attributes his dramatic success going from working two jobs just to survive to being on track to having Tapout bring in over $100 million in 2009!

A big part of this is all about mental focus. This is demonstrated best through Tony Robbins fire walking experiences in which his clients and seminar attendees walk over burning hot coals. No doubt this takes some serious mental focus to achieve without burning your feet to nubs that will absolutely rule out any type of fighting career. But another great way these stunts help it's practitioners is showing them how to overcome fear. If you aren't afraid to walk on smoldering hot 1,200 degree rocks then you can probably face any competitor in the octagon for a few rounds.
