I can relate 😂. 1st comp I was like, why is everyone so worried about this ego thing, it's just like rolling during training, I must be very strong mentally I guess. Fast forward 2 or 3 competitions later just opening Smooth Comp increases my heart rate significantly 😅.
Wow Chewy thank you. I’ve been training for a year and a half and just won a local comp. For some reason I have been worrying about getting promoted instead of just trusting the process. Great video and helps a lot
So, I have the same problem. I won gold in a tournament and the next year I got silver. However, I felt better with the silver because I was able to achieve the techniques I was practicing and my first ever submission in a tournament. I think my mindset of just doing what I've been working on really helped.
After my final match in JJWL Worlds, I got silver..... didn't bug me in the slightest. The other guy (gold medalist) had a very slick judo toss. I asked him if he can show it to me. He didn't even hesitate..... showed small key points and everything. I go out there, just to have fun. I give zero shit about the outcome. I'm a blue belt, if my only opponent available is a seasoned black belt. So, be it, lets do it!!!
Well, I took two losses last weekend. My own weight class and open. I still had good time and now know a couple of more things that I need to improve. Of course I'm not that competitive to start with.
I had my first comp in September, managed to get gold in the Gi and Nogi winning all 5 of my matches (4 subs and 1 points). Nothing really prepared me for how nervous I felt that day though. But for my next comp I feel like I’ll be the opposite as I now know I can lock in when the time is right. Plus who cares if you lose? You still got in there, just try learn from what you lost because of! That was my mindset before my first comp (still didn’t help the nerves but may help yours 😂)
The way I handle winning streaks is too focus on doing my best jiu jitsu possible and if i lose ( ive never lost When ive lived up to my training room best ) the guy was legitimately better n I wouldn’t care … I only care about actually preforming my best jiu jitsu because it’s good and it ll take very good jitsu to best it ( I started in 2005 so lord knows I put in the time )

Low expectations, high standards. I'm stealing this.
This is why i love this channel. Chew always brings up the topics everyones to scared to address
I always lose and get smashed, so can't relate much. 😛
We all do bro. We all do.
Give it time
Sometimes you're the nail and sometimes you're the nail.

Well said, I think it can be applied to just about anything in life too. Give it your all, but not attaching your identity to the outcome.

The opposite problem can be that when you win, you are not forced to consider your weaknesses and work on improving them.

Your expectations have taken the driver seat of your life.
So true 😮

Thanks for the vid Chewy!

Nice, needed to hear that
I got 99 problems but this ain't one
I don't know how many problems I have, because mathematics is one of them
Ernest Becker! Denial of Death is another good one he wrote.
It's a good book.

Could Chewy get to CGI 2?
