Episode 190 - Become A Master of Your Disasters With This Mindset

The idea of the episode is to not focus on what happens, but more importantly how you respond to the things that happen. We discuss dealing with difficult situations in Jiu-Jitsu, Chewy shares a story of an unsuccessful marketing idea for his gym, and how he responded and adjusted tactics. We also share a story about one of Chewy's black belts, who was a an aggressive grappler and sustained an injury, and was forced to change change and adjust his approach to training. We also chat about complacency, the conditions that create a positive outcome are many times not ideal, how a "defect" can become a blessing, if you should ever "sulk" when something doesn't go your way, developing athleticism for your specific sport, and how to use your body type for your Jiu-Jitsu.
