What do you do with the monster?

So after the eight weeks of training hard grueling hours and the hard fought victory what do you do with the monster you created? Lets get some real understanding about fighting, if you didn't create a monster while training then you probably didn't train hard enough. You have to touch something primal to even want to compete in fighting another person. There is definitely something different about a person after they finish training camp and I do believe whatever is built up inside a fighter is hard to let go of even after the fight is done. During that eight week training camp fighters deprive themselves of their normal social activity, commonly eaten foods, often training away from home, and even sex. The combination of these things adds to the aggressive nature of the fighter, over time building to a boil to be unleashed on fight night.
What happens when the fight is over? There are often reports of over the years of fighters getting in to fights on the street, in their own social circles as well as with their spouse. This isn't relegated to fighting, this problem crosses sports boundaries into professional football, basketball, hockey, and I imagine a few rugby players have had some bad run ins as well. Once you gear up for the competition how do you bring yourself back down to a normal level? Some athletes do other sports, i.e. Nick Diaz competes in triathlons. I think the best way to deal with the beast you created is to refocus the energy into something else. Find another sport, a hobby, burn some of that energy doing some physically draining activities like crossfit, climbing , or even rowing. After the combat is done and you still feel that energy simmering inside, do something with it even if that means taking a long vacation in which you do nothing. Don't allow it to get the best of you.
