Hard work. 
Training everyday. 
But not many dare to step inside the ring.
Hard work and fear. 
Fear is what you feel before going inside, that keeps your mind block, and at the same time focused.
Hard work, fear and courage.
Courage gives you the antidote to reduce the fear and allow you to step forward. 
The step that takes you to the ring. 
Once there, it's just you and the enemy. 
All around it's just dark. 
And whispers. 
The whispers in the dark.
