The courage I speak of is the #tenacity and #mentalstrength to resist opposition, danger and hardship. To actually embrace adversity as weights which you lift to make your courage muscles grow strong and steady. Courage and bravery by those youth that jump into dangerous or violent scenarios without thought has no bearing on the practice of courage.For their actions are without thought without understanding consequence and their own mortality.It is just that recklessness and thoughtlessness. I speak of practicing in the face of known danger, hardship, pain, loss and sacrifice. I speak of knowing all too well the consequences of ones actions upon others and oneself.This changes the spirit.This folds endlessly the mental metal in preparation for an unbreakable spirit sword.One may practice to be the most amazing skilled fighter yet lack courage outside the ring and cage.It will not be during the rounds or minutes in the arena fighting that practice of courage is seen, only the results of that practice. It is everything one practices ever before entering that is the true definition of courage. #courage #mettle #spirit, #resolution #steadfast #bravery #sacrifice #mentalwill #ontariotopteam #samirseifquotes #quote #fightquotes #quoteoftheday #dailyquotes #jiujitsu #bjj #wrestling #judo #boxing #kickboxing #muaythai #journey https://www.instagram.com/p/B2HONZonhzH/?igshid=rzvgnlomjb77

The relationship between coach and athlete, Kru/Sifu/Sensei/mentor and student can be at times a depth so deep that it becomes thicker than blood. There have been some painful moments over the last 25 years where it was time for my students to move on. Moved away, new job, marriage, kids and family, interests changes and the most painful and most humbling-when they outgrow me. It’s the hardest thing a coach has to accept.We don’t own the sport we teach nor the environment we teach it from. It took me a long time to realize that the little birdies grow up into eagles themselves and must be allowed their own flight. Many times in the last decade I sent students training with me to other gyms with my blessings.I realized I didn’t have enough sparring for them or rolling days. Perhaps my hours and schedule were not a fit anymore.They stayed out of loyalty and I loved them for that and told them for their own development they needed to go. Some moved on to open their own schools or teach for other schools.Some are BJJ black belts and Muay Thai Kru’s . Some went into pro boxing and muaythai . They still check in with me from time to time or quote something I said and it gets me choked up. It means so much to me that I touched them enough that even though they moved on they still count me in on their origins. So as a coach I say never hold back your student because of your own ego and pride. It keeps them down and when things fall apart it gets ugly and the word betrayal gets slung around. Honor the sport and honor the student. In return they will honor you and remember you for believing in them and letting them go to express themselves . #coaching #coach #kru #sifu #trainer #personaltrainer #boxing #muaythai #kickboxing #bjj #muaythaijourney #bjjjourney #samirseifquotes #samirseif https://www.instagram.com/p/B0ZIjh1HBmF/?igshid=tzsru9y6c0un

I have overcome muscles with strong mind and overcome weak minds with strong muscle. -Samir Seif Reality of overcoming opposition goes beyond #mindandbodyconnection and #mindovermatter . When your in the 12 round and 11 rounds down it’s that body that’s makes the difference as it’s supports the mind that’s running it. So take care of that body and that body will take care of your mind. Strong heart Strong lungs Strong muscles Cultivates the capacity for a strong mind. Remember your heads at the top with the neck down holding it up. The only thing holding that brain is your body. The more efficient it circulates blood and oxygen the more efficient the mind is fed. The connection is there without it having to be said. You cannot have one without the other. #sportspyschology #pyschology #mindfullness #health #fitness #wellness #holistichealth #muscles #sportspecifictraining #musclescience #samirseif #samirseifquotes #quoteoftheday #quotes #bjj #muaythai (at Hamilton, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzrV792FtS3/?igshid=1f0ow5ezo2xgn
