Danial Williams has been burning the candle at both ends as he juggles fighting, coaching, training, and managing a business.
‘Mini T’ will have his hands full once again this Friday night as he steps into the ONE Fight Night 8 main event spotlight on short notice for a ONE flyweight kickboxing world title fight with ‘The Kicking Machine’ Superlek Kiatmoo9. Ahead of his return to the circle, Williams spoke with ONE Championship at great length regarding his struggles keeping up with everything in the past and the changes he’s made to ensure that his business, body, and mind are in a good place.
“Everyone's in Thailand at the moment. So doing that, but now I'm like, we've just hired some new staff and not having to work so much, so I can train a little more. And I'm hiring good staff as well because I had some headaches last year with being distracted so much and not wanting to step out of my comfort zone with firing people and just letting things go."
“My business wasn't too good, to be fair. Now it's so much better, and I'm not trying to do other things as well to make money. I'm not driving like an hour away to do my coaching. I'm not trying to set up another business which is like a protein business. The noise is gone, that I'm just focusing on businesses I have now and training some. I'm resting a lot, and that's beating that value as well.”
Danial Williams is getting more rest and reaping the benefits of being an introvert
After a year of attempting to manage multiple responsibilities and personal relationships, Danial Williams is enjoying the opportunity to rest and be more of an introvert compared to last year when it felt like he was bouncing from one task to another.
“Obviously, my business is all about rest, and I didn't do that last year. I trained, caught up with people, go do the coaching, and did laboring jobs. My mind was just so f*cking busy. And now, it's like, holy sh*t. I'm napping after the morning training and not catching up with people. So being a lot more introverted just because I'm staying focused has helped me so much massively, like mentally.”
Danial Williams also revealed that his relationship is in a much better place now that he has the opportunity to slow down and take a breath once in a while.
“My relationship as well with my partner. I feel so much better in the place I am right now compared to last year. It's good to get those wins last year, but like far out, man, I was really burning both ends of the candle.”
Amazon Prime Video subscribers in North America can catch Danial Williams vs. Superlek Kiatmoo9 in a ONE world title main event showdown live and for free in U.S. primetime this Friday night.
