I would just say the biggest you know I guess pro that my crew has given me and my team specifically it’s just that mental toughness and that’s what it comes down to no matter what you do you can go run for I mean 4 hours but you don’t have that mental toughness then you know you’ve already lost the fight. It’s almost like you’re fighting yourself pretty much if you already believe that you’ve lost and you know you’re never going to win so um, something that we really work on is persevering. You know not giving up and again. Making the worst of it in the training so that when we get to these events we get to these you know title fights we get to these big shows. It’s like you’ve gone to the worst now just do what you love. It’s all a really, it comes down to doing what we love and I feel horrible for you know. Athletes and you know I’ve been even there I think every athlete has where you know they’re just like shit this sucks like I don’t like getting hit in the face like this shit hurts all the day on time. Um, but it really comes down to hey this is my passion. This is what I love to do and if I don’t love to do it. Why am I doing it right.

Taylor looks forward to her nerves, she enjoys the nerves, the feeling of fear, and loves it as part of the journey. The fear will always be there, it never goes, it is part of the caveman response to keep you safe. However, you can’t let it dictate your life and stop you doing the things you want to do (obviously risk assessing it etc first). A few people I have interviewed have mentioned how they make friends with their fear, give it a name, so they acknowledge it and make peace with it being there like with a friend. Then when fear arises but it is something they want to do, they speak to it, they say thank you for being there, I appreciate you looking out for me but this is something I want to do, and the fear slowly dissipates and lessens as you come to terms with it and act anyway, and don’t lose your future by present displeasure.
