When you get hurt (and you will just wait)

And have done nothing to try and prevent it from happening

You have absolutely no room to complain

No “oh what am I going to do without training, it looks after my mental health”

“Oh I’m going to gain weight”

“Everyone else is getting better around me”

It can’t be that important to you, because if it was you would do a lot more to make sure it didn’t happen

In some ways I respect it, because I don’t have the bo****ks to risk it

I’ve been through an ACL repair, and sat having to wait 6 months for a meniscus surgery and I can tell you for certainty it’s s**t

If I told you that as a coach I’ve had conversations with members of our gym where we are going to activity seek out matches where there’s a good chance they won’t win

In the same way I’ve had conversations where the single job of another individual is to expose themselves to as many different rulesets, opponents, events as they physically can

The difference is each decision serves a purpose for that individual, it’s not competing for competing sake

“Might just jump on here” no

How does that decision help you in the long run?

There’s always context

You can’t treat them all same because they aren’t the same

And the only way to get better at them is to understand the purpose they serve for you

Made a step into the longer form (I say long it’s 6 minutes 😅) content world to try and give more value!

Link in story!

If anyone has any feedback or topics they want covering then let me know

You know what I’ve always found weird, how grapplers are obsessed with training their hands, but never do anything about their feet 🤔

There are very few angles outside of injury and abit of fun I can see the majority of people emphasising direct grip training over normal strength training when it comes improving performance on the mats

If you can deadlift 2.5 times your body weight, row 50% of your bodyweight for reps, hammer curl 20kg+ for reps

Then we can delve into the nuance of specific grip exercises for grappling

But until that point your probably majoring in the minors

Your grip will improve as a by product of holding on to things in the process of getting stronger

“Oh it must only be black belts who want coaching”

“It’s only super competitive people who want coaching”

“Is it just like 8 weeks before someone does a comp they decide to get coaching”

“It’s only the last couple years people have started to take this stuff seriously”

Nah,

It’s for anyone who values their progression

Anyone who holds a standard for themselves

Anyone who understands to play the long game

Anyone who is willing to seek help to get exactly what they want out of the sport

A hill I’ll die on when it comes to developing your craft is that tournaments develop better grapplers than superfights

I love shows, I think they are great, I’ll never forget the first time I did grapplefest, felt like I could spit fire I was that pumped up for it

But long term development they don’t come close!

Confidence is a very strange part of the performance package

Hard to build, easy to lose

Something I imagine we’ve all experienced, some days you walk on the mat feeling like a big dick in a changing room, the next you just want to sit in the corner and hide

It can also be very hard to define because everyone is different and “confidence” can manifest outwardly in different ways

But I actually think the more technical of a definition you give the more it makes sense

The posh word for confidence is self efficacy and self efficacy is simply your person belief in your ability to succeed at a certain task or future challenge

Where people get confused is the success part, in sport we usually define success as winning and losing (and it plays a huge role don’t get me wrong)

But you can lose and still be successful

It just has to be relevant to you

Confidence isn’t about convincing yourself that you’re capable. It’s about accumulating enough meaningful evidence that you have good reason to trust your ability to deal with the demands of performance.
