Beast mode with Dennis Siver: an archived Project Mindset post, originally published in 2021. Dates and roles reflect the original publication.
Beast mode
In today’s short clip, I ask Dennis how he switches from his generally relaxed manner to full beast mode as soon as he enters the ring.
Here is the excerpt:
Reza: You are very calm and easy to talk to. How do you manage to be such a relaxed person and then immediately switch to beast mode in the ring or Octagon, giving everything from zero to a hundred?
Dennis: Good question. I think it is a work ethic. Once the bell rings, you need to go full throttle. That is what you do in the Octagon or ring. For me, it is a kind of work: I always try to give my best and win the fight. Naturally, that includes aggression, motivation and action. In ordinary life, when you do not need those things, you conserve them and approach life normally — calmly and with composure.
