“In a blink, it’s over.” 🥊

Twelve-week camps, three fights a year, most of his children’s lives spent away. Michael Conlan lived boxing the way he believes a professional should. Now retired, the one thing he’d change is that he never stopped to see how far he’d come.

In Episode 9 of Inside the Performer’s Mind with Tarek Michael-Chouja and Jay Hedley, he reflects on achievement, family and what gets missed in the pursuit of the next fight.

What have you built that you haven’t stopped to take in?

“The mind is a very fragile place.” 🥊

Michael Conlan on the period after his first professional loss, in this clip from Episode 9 of Inside the Performer’s Mind with Tarek Michael-Chouja and Jay Hedley.

Michael and Jay started working together after that fight. His confidence, he says, was at an all-time low and he was clouded with negativity. The rebuild wasn’t new information. It was questions that pointed him back to work he’d already done.

The full episode covers West Belfast and the gym that kept him out of trouble, Rio 2016, the shift from amateur to professional, ego in sparring, social media and doubt, learning to focus on process, the coach who told him what he was doing wrong, the 12-week camp, and what he’d change now that he’s retired.

For coaches: after a setback, is the first move to add something, or to help the athlete reconnect with what they have?

“I haven’t been active today.” Does that mean you

“I haven’t been active today.”

Does that mean you haven’t moved, or that you haven’t worked out?

Daily active living was central to our conversation with Paul Batman. Walking for transport, gardening, household tasks and activities with family all bring movement into the day. Looking only at gym attendance leaves much of that activity out of the conversation.

Paul also reflected on changing his approach to intensity after a heart attack. His quote in the artwork describes his experience; it isn’t evidence that excessive exercise and sedentary living have identical health effects.

For coaches, there are two things to understand: how someone moves through their day, and what they believe makes that movement worthwhile.

A client might enjoy walking yet dismiss it because it wasn’t hard enough. They might understand the need for a lighter session but feel guilty about doing less. Ask what they think they’re losing when they ease off.

Does activity have to feel demanding for you to count it?

What changes when you change the grip?

In this week’s video, Tarek explores a pronated-to-neutral hold, thumb involvement and different pulling angles for grip-endurance training.

Watch how the movement changes alongside the grasp. Do the elbows flare? Does the person introduce more rotation through the lower back? Can they maintain the hold as they work through the variation?

Those observations can help you select a challenge that suits the person. Try one change at a time so you can compare positions and hear where they feel the difference.

What do you look for before introducing another grip variation?

Watch the full demonstration, including the seated alternative, via the link in bio.
