I think wrestlers more than any other sport, arguably, have to deal with doubt constantly. I know my first two years I constantly had doubt in my ability or whatever have you heading into a match. I think I have conquered this doubt now, and that is why I am starting to see some success.
I think whenever you have a bad practice, get banged up, or are feeling down – doubt starts to creep out. For me personally, I try to fend off these negative feelings as soon as possible. It’s like I have like guys in my head that attack this bad virus as soon as it enters my body. I have become good at this and try to take to myself when this happens. Remind myself of good and positive things. The best guys never doubt themselves ever, they believe in themselves more than any one else.
