The Beast Champion Matty Lopes delved into the holistic technique of wrestling, dropping the light on his routine and attitude techniques.

During the interview, he shared a personalized recurring, emphasizing the importance of intellectual practice earlier than every fight. A glimpse of the whole podcast was shared on the official Instagram page of Wrestling Mindset with the caption, “Pre-match routines…Wrestling Mindset podcast!”

Lopes described the process of breaking down a small plan on paper as comparable to establishing a routine. He highlighted the significance of putting in a ritual earlier than stepping onto the mat, drawing parallels to a pre-in-shape prayer.

He said, “Before the match, when I walk out, I have a thing where I kind of do my prayer before, so kind of like a match before I do my prayer before, and after I do my prayer. That’s kind of when I get my music going.”

Before the fight, he follows a series of steps: a prayer, followed by the initiation of his tune, signaling the transition right into a targeted and locked-in country.

When the match starts, about two durations out, he turns off the tune and engages in three deep breaths. It acts as a planned ritual, repeated earlier than every fight, reinforcing a mental and emotional preparedness that enhances his bodily readiness.

He also mentioned, “It’s always like, probably, like, two periods out, I take off the music and that’s when I kind of do like my three deep breaths that I kind of set up with me.” The diversity of those workouts is evident, with a few wrestlers incorporating particular movements like prayer and music, even as others choose greater introspective practices along with sitting with closed eyes and managed breathing.
