How much does religious faith play a role in performance and success in combat sports and why is it that so many fighters have a deep conviction and belief in God? On today’s episode of the Fight IQ podcast, we seek to answer that question and delve into the principles of religion to find lessons we can also apply to our own lives, regardless of whether we are believers, atheists, agnostics or refuse to have any label when it comes to spirituality.

There are a lot of fighters who praise God as their first order of business in a post-fight interview. Fans and media have conflicting views on this topic, with some believing that religion is better left outside of the ring and others seeing it as a freedom of speech that is well within a fighter’s right to exercise. What we will focus on is just how putting God first can help athletes achieve victory and remain consistent in high-level performance trough out their careers. Join me as we take a journey into the minds of Faith Based Fighters.
