I Fight Differently When People Are Watching

01 · The Situation

In an empty gym you are one fighter. In front of a crowd you are another. The pressure changes something. You do not know what or why.

02 · Your Turn

In your next sparring session, find the exact moment something changes — not what changes, just when. Is it before you start? After the first punch? When someone stops to watch? Try to catch the moment while it is happening and name it to yourself. Come back when you can describe exactly when the change occurs.
