This passage from Pound for Pound by F.X. Toole struck me as right on for Olympic-style weightlifting as well as boxing. Page 303.
Boxing ain't street fighting, where strength alone can make a winner. Boxing's a game of little things, like the links in a bicycle chain. It ain't about big or strong - it's about speed times weight being equal to force, not to strength. It's about respect and heart, and all this comes from your mind and legs, not the muscles in your arms, and sure as hell not because you think you're some kind of tough. Now the question is, can you execute under pressure?Related links
