This “Loser” Mindset Helped Me Persevere as a BJJ White Belt

Got a question today from Wade about when my BJJ game went to the next level and how I made that happen. He asks because he's training hard but still struggling and is getting beat during training. He says he's not getting discouraged, but he'd like to go from getting his butt kicked to doing some of the butt kicking.

In this video I share an idea about my mindset going into Brazilian Jiu-jitsu which is probably a bit counterintuitive. You see, most people tell you to visualize success and all of that. Early on, I had such low confidence in myself that I simply focused on training and didn't set too many grand expectations. Sure I had dreams of being good at BJJ, but I didn't really have expectations. This allowed me to be focused on the love of training and the day to day process rather than being obsessed with how things ended or worked out.

Along with this mindset I give some ideas that might be useful to you if you're in Wade's situation.

Hope the video is helpful, thanks for watching and I'll talk to you next time.
