‘It’s time for me to step outside my comfort zone, to grow and to become a fighter’
Steven shares his reasons for getting back in the boxing ring and explains why there is so much more to fighting than most people imagine when they see someone stepping up to a fight.
He discusses the skills needed to be a good fighter and how developing these benefits other areas in life.
When you are focused it's easier to overcome your challenges and being the best version of you will impact on all areas of your life, listen and find out how.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Accountability
Committing to this fight makes me accountable, to my friends, family, to my opponent, and most importantly to myself.
If you don’t put in the hard work, you are going to get found out in the ring, you can look good on the pads, on a run and sparring but where it really counts is in the ring.
Fitness
If you are fit and healthy you are usually enthusiastic and you can transfer this enthusiasm to all aspects of your life.
Being fit will make me stronger, more agile, more powerful I’ll feel better, the fight will be easier and other aspects of my life will improve as a result of my fitness.
Mental resilience
Mental resilience is key and transferable. Boxing can help you to build the mental resilience to cope with the challenges in life.
This is not just about the fight it’s about building mental and emotional resilience, when I have that resilience my relationships and businesses are better.
Nutrition
You can be the best boxer technically, have the hardest punch and be the quickest but if you are not fuelling your body in the right way with the best nutrition you are going to run out of steam.
I am really stepping things up eating the right things at the right time, in the right quantity
and getting the right advice from nutritionists.
Winning
I’m not doing this to compete I’m doing this to win, I’m here to take over, whatever I’m involved in I want to be the very best version of me.
The boxing fight is about getting in the ring to win and having a sheer determination and animal instinct to win, helps me in other parts of my life.
Business and sales are all about winning, sport is all about winning no one ever gives a shit about who comes second or third.
BEST MOMENTS
‘We’re not here just to piss around and take part we are here to take over’
‘If you put yourself under enough professional pressure you are going to perform when it’s time to shine’
‘This is about winning, if I don’t put everything I have and am into this then I'm going to come up short and I'm not prepared to do that’

ABOUT THE HOST
The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success. My view is you should have multiple focuses to be a well-rounded individual. Success shouldn't be just one thing like money, for example, it should also consist of a healthy fit lifestyle and thriving relationships. As a person who has made a success in life and also made huge cock-ups I feel I can offer suggestions and tips on how to become successful or at least start your pursuit. My 'Study' has taken resources from reading and education plus being around, my perception, of successful people and I, know a lot of successful people from all walks of life. My 'Study' coming from my experiences in business, investing, sales (my core background), training, boxing and education has enabled me to become well rounded and successful.
