Dealing With Doubt  This re-post is from Ross Enamait.  Ross is a strength and conditioning coach as well as a boxer/boxing coach.  Ross has posted a video of a young Mike Tyson displaying fear and doubt before a fight and how he overcame.  The post is about fear in fighters, but we believe the lesson is relevant to life and not just boxing.  While we engage in "physical" fitness, strength and conditioning, we find the mental aspects of training more important and not covered enough.  Ross did a great job with this one!—-George
