031 - Gustavo Dantas on BJJ Sports Psychology
From The Strenuous Life Podcast
It's one thing to be beaten by a better opponent, but it's quite another to go out there and underperform... to do less than you know you're capable of. You can be in top shape and have your techniques honed to a razor's edge, but can still perform poorly in BJJ competition if your mental preparation is lacking.
In this Grapplearts podcast I talk with BJJ black belt Gustavo Dantas about how to use sports psychology to create unshakeable confidence and perform to the best of your ability in competition.
