🚨 Struggling with competition anxiety in BJJ? 🚨 In this episode, I break down exactly how to overcome imposter syndrome, stay calm under pressure, and perform at your absolute best—no matter who’s standing across from you. I just competed at the IBJJF Indianapolis Open and took gold 🥇, and I’m sharing every mindset shift, warm-up trick, and pre-fight routine I used to dominate on the mats. Whether you’re a white belt entering your first tournament or a black belt chasing big wins, this is your full guide to NEVER losing to competition anxiety again. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: ✅ How to shut down imposter syndrome before it ruins your confidence ✅ The pre-fight breathwork routine that keeps you focused and calm ✅ Why your warm-up partner & playlist might make or break your performance ✅ What to do during long waiting periods so you don’t overthink or psych yourself out ✅ How to build the right competition mindset to stay present, fight smart, and win If you’ve ever doubted yourself before stepping on the mats, this episode is for you. Hit play, take notes, and let’s make sure you never let anxiety cost you another match.

Are you gritty, or are you... quitty? Mental toughness separates those who excel in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu from those who simply participate. It often manifests in unexpected individuals– the quiet accountant, the elderly gentleman, the smaller woman – who demonstrate extraordinary mental fortitude despite lacking physical advantages. These individuals prove that psychological resilience can outshine any other advantages.

On this episode of the podcast, Chewy and Eugene discuss Imposter Syndrome in BJJ and how to both overcome this and use it to your advantage. We discuss the problem with comparing yourself to others, if a high competitive environment a reason to change gyms, what Chewy looks for when promoting someone to their next belt rank, why Chewy doesn't prefer a strict curriculum for belt promotions, feeling like you have a target on your back after getting promoted, the "Garry Tonon Approach" to training in bad positions, how becoming a father can make yo better, stress and how you perceive it matters, why fewer black belts compete, the best strategy for overcoming imposter syndrome, and why belts are a representation and not the reality.

In this week's mini-episode, we explain **effortful retrieval!** It's a concept from cognitive psychology proposing we can improve our ability to recall information — a critical skill during live rolling — by creating a recall practice that forces our brains to work.

I've got something special for you today: a true adventure story set in the Far North featuring that I underwent a few years ago after a kidney transplant. I ended up learning a LOT about mental toughness, resilience, and strategies for making progress when I was absolutely at the end of my rope, lessons that I think are universally applicable. The book out today in hardcover, Kindle, and Audible audiobook formats. Since this is a podcast, I thought I'd give you the first three chapters in audio form, including an incident so embarrassing that I almost didn't include it in the book at all. If you grab the hardcover this week, I'll make sure you get a signed copy! If you get the Kindle or audiobook format, then you'll get my thanks and undying gratitude. You can get it at your local bookstore but you also get it at ALL the big online sites, including these links here at Amazon.com, and Barnesandnoble.com, In Canada you can get it at Amazon.ca or Indigo.ca. In the UK it comes out a little later, but you can still preorder it at any of the links on simonandschuster.co.uk. I hope you enjoy consuming this book in your favorite format it as much as I enjoyed writing it for you! Thanks so much, Stephan Kesting **P.S.** You can see some very kind early reviews of the book at stephankesting.com/perseverance-book
