Other My family doesn't believe me?
Well, a competition is coming up and I'm going to compete. Despite my confidence issues, I've been trying my best in training and I'm pretty sure I can win... But this will be my first competition in another city and that makes me a little nervous, but not as much as my family (mother and grandmother), who really don't want me to go. When we talk about the competition, they tell me to give up if it's too hard or if I'm tired, saying that they need to see the level of the competition and that I'm not an athlete to compete... It really makes me wonder: are they right? Or do they just not believe in my potential? (I'm 21 years old)

Ok if I get the most of what you are saying they don't believe in you.......
Alright get ready......here is my advice.......
F them and what they think......
GO GET YOU SOME!!!
You are the one that's going to fight, you put in the time, your trainers have been watching you, they know what's up, if you weren't ready they would tell you. Every time you step in the ring you risk getting beat down, even if you train your hardest, that is the reality we deal with. All you can do is go throw down. The peanut gallery can't keep their opinions to themselves, if they can't show up and be supportive then at least don't get in the way.
