I've done muay thai/boxing on and off for about 2 years now. If you've seen me on the thai pads or the heavy bags, you'd know I am a beast (brief moment of cockiness). But my skills on the pads/bags do not translate well into sparring. Not because I am not physically capable, but because I am not mentally capable.

Kudos for your intellectual honesty. But while I'm no martial arts or SD expert, it seems to me you've come a little short of realizing that what you're doing is sport, rather than
bona fide self-defense training.
Some who shoot it intuitively understand IDPA's a game, not SD training, while others eventually come to the realization. Those who want self-defense skills need self-defense training.
