This is a post by someone who has never trained to any kind of competitive level that is for sure.

The shout focuses you on the instruction.

Many many years ago I was competing in a semi contact tourney in Southampton. Long story short I got cheated and was miffed. Walked into the cafe area and met this guy who was local to that area and was an coach. He said he had a guy wanted a full contact match that night my weight so I said I will take him on. We got it sanctioned and it was first fight of the night.

My corner men were telling me to take it easy he is a good kicker and the fight started. Then I heard a familiar shout from my instructor and Kung Fu / Kickboxing mentor " Just Batter Him" that gave me the push I needed and the guy went down twice in the first had good fun in the second spinning kicks and settled in he refused to come out for the 3rd

Point is without that aggressive environment you would never push yourself anywhere near your potential. An Athlete can always do better (until they get to old of course then you get stronger but slower for a good few years though) and always want the next PB they are doing their best does not cut the mustard
