You have to take them on and you have to grow. And getting that balance right. is hugely important. And it's not simple. Like a lot of boxing training camps are based around the boxer's confidence being everything. And you want them to feel invincible going into the ring, right?

And then from another perspective, it's something very powerful about having a training camp that's so intense that all your weaknesses are exposed. You have to take them on. If you're not sparring against people who can expose your weaknesses, then you don't know what they are. You don't have the chance to grow, right? I mean, I...

I live at this point with a trying to be at max stretch without snapping, right? Like, for example, if I look at my foiling, like if I'm not falling enough during a foil session, then I'm not pushing my turns hard enough. And if I'm, yeah, if you're just succeeding all the time, then you're not pushing yourself enough.

I spent a lot of time playing with frame rates. And I had this experience that I wrote about that slowing down time chapter of The Art of Learning where I And I had these experiences both in chess and in fighting. One time I was fighting against a super heavyweight dude in a competition and my hand shattered. And I broke my hand right here.

One time I was fighting against a super heavyweight dude in a competition and my hand shattered. And I broke my hand right here.

And it was interesting because the fight was very intense, reasonably hard, and my hand broke and instantly time slowed down. And he was moving in slow motion. And I was able to just so easily play with someone with like a broken hand compared to what had been a war before. We know what that is.

It's adrenaline. Adrenaline. Yeah. Adrenaline and that tunnel vision and then the frames are fat.

So then the question then became for me, and this would be fun to talk, I've never spoken to a scientist about this process, like how do I learn to do that at will, right? And then how can I train, because I can't just pump myself with adrenaline all the time, or maybe I can learn to have that physiological response. You can deploy it. Right, so then how can I deploy it, right?
