Many professional athletes dedicate their lives to a single sport and spend most of their time and effort to be really good at it. For David Roberts, he has taken it to another level.

It is impressive how, despite having to juggle two sports at once, he uses them both to his advantage.

Not many racers are fighters, nor can many fighters race. David Roberts is an exception to the rule and loves both racing and fighting. Because he is able to apply the learning from one sport to another it has served as an advantage for him in his career. David Roberts wants to inspire aspiring athletes to follow their dreams and believe in themselves through their journey and achievements. He is a testament to the fact that whatever be one's dreams, it is possible to make it happen.

David Roberts' Journey as a Professional Athlete

David Roberts is on a roll as a professional MMA fighter, Boxer, and Racecar Driver. While he has been successful in carving a name for himself, things were not easy at all. David needed a lot of determination, persistence, and effort to get to where he is now.

Here are the things David Roberts has accomplished as a racer and a fighter and what pushed him to choose both paths.

Racing

Before David Roberts made his name known in the MMA world, racing was where he excelled at. For this sport, his inspiration was his dream and love for karting. When he was 16, he decided to invest his hard-earned money in a CRG kart and practiced at least once a week on Wednesdays at the tracks near his place.

When he started gaining a reputation as a racer through professional karting race competitions, he began to transition to Prototype and Grand Tourer (GT) cars. Around 2015, his name was becoming recognized more and more in stunt driving, so Vape Prescriptions, a tobacco company, sponsored him. He also appeared in many production videos after that.

Currently, he has his own YouTube channel, DRMBROTHERS. His accomplishments as a racer include winning the 2016 Radical Cup, the 2018 Pirelli World Challenge GT3 with Audi, and 2019 24 Hour Series GT3 with Porsche.

Boxing & MMA

Meanwhile, his passion for MMA fighting and boxing was fueled by what he went through when he was young. He suffered bullying as a kid, and the tragedy of losing his little brother has forever left a scar in his heart. He focuses his rage and uses fighting as an outlet for him.

Moving to MMA has shocked many, especially those who admired him for his accomplishment in car racing. However, David Roberts didn't let them down and proved his greatness in the world of mixed martial arts too. He has won all four of his MMA fights and all three of his boxing fights.

Conclusion

While his past played a significant role in pushing him towards being the best that he can be every single day, David Roberts still emphasizes the importance of focusing on the present and preparing for the future. At the very least, the experiences of struggle and pain should be used to fuel one's determination, not extinguish it. This means that losing games and getting beat in training sessions should be motivators to push one further ahead. By being present and focusing on the future, one can eliminate bad past performances and start to look towards greatness.
