Namajunas Best Mantra
Share
A story about UFC fighter Rose Namajunas using positive self-talk before a fight against a formidable opponent.
"There's this amazing video of Rose Namajunas, this awesome UFC fighter. The reason she's interesting is she's really quiet and introspective and seems like a sweetheart, not like a fighter. There's this amazing video of her about to fight this badass woman from China who just looks like the terminator, and she's repeating to herself 'I'm the best, I'm the best, I'm the best.'
What makes it powerful is that Rose struggles with anxiety - she's not a bravado type of person. So for her to say 'I'm the best,' it's not trash talk, it's literally self-talk so she can perform her best and not let anxiety get the best of her. When I first saw that, I teared up. It's the greatest, it pumps me up, it's amazing."
