i’ve noticed recently in sparring that i have been getting pressured and i just shell up and dont counter as much. its not like im getting beat up, my guards good and they barely land any proper hits, but its really frustrating as i know i need to return fire but its almost like i forget or feel like i cant. my technique is fine, my coach says it isnt skill its a mental thing, ive been doing muay thai for about a year now. any tips would be really helpful as its very frustrating and i want to improve it
