We discuss how to overcome the fear of losing, Chewy shares some of his tournament experiences, searching for ways of expression though Jiu-Jitsu, why you should avoid being obsessed with the outcome, how meditation can help with competition, dealing with "Imposter Syndrome, and unlocking the mental side of the jiu-jitsu game.
