    How to keep my cool.
    Ok so since I decided against starting professional boxing I thought ''Hey lets give mixed martial arts a try for fun''

    BUT here's the problem I am worried to be honest I've never really been ''The new guy'' .
    Because of my history in boxing I'm going to be working with pros as soon as I start.



    I feel like a tiny child about to ask out the girl of his dreams, nervous as hell with butterflies and sweaty palms
    Even the local news is expecting big things as soon as I start.

    I don't know what to do I already bought equipment and got invited to train/fight. AND told my local news theyd see a new fighter out of me.

    Basically my question is how do you guys calm your nerves when starting new sports?

    You work through them... being nervous when you are new and thus unfamiliar to anything is a normal reaction. Eventually you will get past it.
