Brendan Allen

the day like after you weigh in you read it and then you finish like it has a part where it says read up to this point and then you read this the rest of the section uh the day of the fight and it's i forget the author i have it in my phone somewhere uh that he sent me a long time ago and i would read it before every fight everyone like the apex when we was in the apex all the time we i'd weigh in and we had to wait that like two hours till like we could face off if you weigh in first

and i'd sit there and i'd read it and it was like an author and he talks a lot about like different sports and like like one of his main basic things is like hope the word uh hope hold on possibilities exist like don't ever think it's over it's done don't ever say i have to do something i want to do something i don't have to the minute you start putting i have to is the moment you start like he says like put like change you hit the emergency stop button the emergency brake on your car like

You got to let it off.

You're not performing at your best with all those things.

So like stuff like that really like sets in and I try to remind myself.

So like reminding myself of those things, talking about it is really like what helps me.

Yeah, kind of.

Do you know who wrote it?

It's in my phone.

I could find it.

mindfulness was the word I was looking for when you catch it.

Like mindfulness, like stuff like that.

But it's funny.

The first time he told me, I was like, bro, don't tell me where I think this is some crazy shit, bro.

I'm not that kind of guy, you know?

But look, I'm literally going through right here, right?

And he would send me stuff, right?

Before a fight or like- So he'd send you quotes?

He'd send me YouTube links.

Look at the second one from the top.
