There’s a reason why fighters have trainers. I think for a while I thought that I could train myself just as good or better than someone else could train me. And that may be true to a certain extent, but there’s one thing I’m absolutely sure of—a fighter can never reach his full potential alone…that includes me.

Sadly, people also receive negative feedback - being told they are no good academically, or that they won't ever be successful in a certain area. This causes a negative reaction in our brains.
