In fact, boxing is only a very small part of it.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n I wrote my story to share my perspective of what it is like to be controlled by a need for perfection.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n I wanted to be a boxing world champion. I wanted to be noticed. I wanted to be known. I put expectations of perfection on myself and over time, this obsession blinded me to reality and brought me down into a dark hole of depression.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n I suppose I’d never really got over my fear of fighting. I wasn’t scared of being hit – far from it – I was scared to lose and scared to let anyone down. I trained hard and did everything to the best of my ability but I was constantly worried about disappointing the people who supported me. I put unrealistic expectations on myself.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n When I realised I would never achieve my dream of becoming a boxing world champion, I was devastated.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n But I’m one of the fortunate ones. I overcame the torment my mind put me through. It wasn’t easy and there were many false starts yet I did it. I now understand that achieving one goal is only a small part of life when you compare it to the bigger picture.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n These are the lessons I’ve learnt. If I did it – you can too!\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46594821849246,"sku":"HPC-9780648612056","price":24.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780648612056.jpg?v=1773115667","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780648612056","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
