This statement "
Its not the same. This is where comparing a combat sport to regular sports is different and why coaching someone for a tennis match is not the same as coaching someone to go fight."
Makes me lose respect for you.
So are you telling me that you gsp fears are somehow stronger then lebron or Tigers or Tom Bradys?
This combat sports arrogance is why I hate talking to guys who come from modern martial arts. You sport is no more life changing then anyone else's.
It's lazy and shameful to try to prove your point by disrespecting the work someone else puts in to their respected skillset.
A PhD in biology is no harder than a PhD in physics.
Yes the fear is different, you cant understand this because you never fought, and you never will until you do.
The pressure/fear you feel to get the game winning touch down, or last minute 3 pointer at the buzzer, or to make a crucial shot on the putting green is nothing like the pressure of going out and getting your wig split.
You think the pressure a target shooter has is different than the pressure a sniper has at war?
Yeah man the pressures are different in combat sports vs "making a goal" because your life is at stake. Oh no I missed the 3 pointer we loose vs oh no i lost I am now laying on the floor bleeding.
You think the way holyfield felt before stepping to to fight tyson is comparable to the pressure Tiger feels? GTFO here dude.
You dont like the arrogance of combat sports? You are quite arrogant to compare a 3 point shot to getting KTFO. Even making the comparisons is a perfect example of what I mean about a coach with experience vs without
Before you mentioned that you never fought, i had a hunch you never did by your statements and reactions, you are defending yourself, I never knocked your coaching ability, or said that its impossible etc. just that generally speaking a coach who has fought is better than a coach who hasnt. there can be good coaches who never fought, but they would be better coaches if they did, it definitely wouldnt make them worse.
I never disrespected you, my statements of coaches never fighting are true, and as you can see everyone agrees. Coaches such as yourself are the exception to the rule instead of getting all defensive about it you should be proud you are the exception to the rule.
since you state you have no respect for me. I additionally have none for you. A coward that never fought, is still a coward that never fought, no matter how great a coach they are.
I will agree to disagree with you and leave it at that.
