  • Every fear we have may or may not be real. What if you could easily find out if your fear is valid, then take action to face it head on? The only place we can battle fear is in our minds. In this talk we learn valuable lessons about what real fear is and how to remove it from our day to day life. Frank Shamrock is many things: visionary entrepreneur, ex-con, author, star athlete, survivor of childhood abuse, international speaker, husband, dad and general defier of the odds. He holds multiple world records and remains the only athlete in history crowned champion of every major MMA sports league. Author of “MMA for Dummies”, he has literally written the book on the sport of cagefighting.
    Unlikely as it may seem, as a speaker, Frank is best known for his humour, compassion and his ability to use cagefighting techniques to create deep trust and unwavering focus even with non-athletes. Shamrock’s coaching and training techniques are employed by top performers, celebrities and major corporations around the world.
    Today, Shamrock lives in Los Angeles with Amy, his wife of many years and two kids, Frankie and Nicolette. Together they oversee Shamrock Way, a family nonprofit that tackles social issues and supports at risk communities with educational scholarships. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    If every person on earth watched this message just once (translated into the language of their understanding) and gave it their honest, sincere, and full attention -
    the human species would take a quantum leap in our growth. Imagine a world where every single person actually viewed themselves, and by extension everyone else, through the lens of true and sincere and genuine love.

    Better off dead than to live your life in constant fear! Respect for you frank, well done.

      @thenewcedric Před 3 lety +3

      Its not better to be dead. When that happens you just let your fear consume you. What you can do is find you inner strength and face your fears head-on. You are bigger than what you fear, don't let it consume you.

    Move Forward.

    Fear is learned from our circumstances and environment. Therefore it is temporary and remains active only in our minds if we allow our consciousness to surrender to it. However, we can find proven tools to face, feel, and free our fears with faith.

    Frank Shamrock is or rather was a great fighter. Now I see him as a great person. There are other professional fighters or former pro fighters who have become wonderful people. Another one is Rickson Gracie and many members of the Brazilian Gracie family. Another one who is one of my favorites is Bas Rutten. Putting Frank Shamrock together with Bas Rutten would make a great talk. Mixed Martial Arts is much much better for you that boxing and probably the best fighting style for your health and effectiveness in the ring/octagon is Jiu jitsu. Keep talking Frank. You are an inspiration.
