Winning and Losing

The video explains how a boxer's body reacts to winning and losing. When winning, the body releases chemicals like dopamine, endorphins, adrenaline, and testosterone, enhancing focus, reducing pain, and creating euphoria. In contrast, losing triggers a decrease in feel-good chemicals, leading to exhaustion and pain. Cortisol and adrenaline cause stress and anxiety, and a primitive response may immobilize the boxer. The hippocampus ensures the loss is remembered.
