Of course! We have a few on our channel already (Thamara Silva, Erin Herle, Aden Valencia, Alexis Davis) and Kristina Barlaan is on deck for next week!
Mental shift from, "ok I made it here, sick" to "I'm tired of right here, I need to go further" is an interesting shift that happens organically. Imagine working so hard and then falling short. Multiple times over and over. Both came to same conclusion, "this isn't enough" and not allowing room to accept other results.
You can tell Jared spends an unimaginable amount of time training and thinking about jiujitsu. 100 reps are spoken casually, he downloaded entire bjj fanatics library and it wasnt enough, mats at home, etc. Seems like a super chill dude too. I'd love to hear more about his practices, how it's structured, and how things are decided, etc.The differences in his perspective of a practice that he joins vs ones he's leading...
This is the best pod on social media/content I've seen. It covers everything. The examples on editing were super helpful. I've been running an experiment with myself on posting almost daily on something totally unrelated and I've learned a ton. Would love more content on this, specifically hashtags/keywords, thumbnails, and thoughts on content and how it translates to leads/physical traffic
17:40 What comes to mind is 2021 Worlds Ultra-Heavy. Meregali was being heckled and although he didn't get DQ'ed at the end of the match with Victor, he did get DQ'ed afterwards for conduct. But that's how Victor placed 1st. So that rule must've been in affect at that time? I forget maybe you mentioned but wanted to add an example
Not enough people talk about this. For the folks competing at a new belt or competing against their first “name” or ranked opponent would totally relate to what Erin went thru in that match. Thank you three! Great stuff
I thought it was illuminating to go over a match that a competitor felt "lost" in. Really interesting to see where the mind goes in situations like this.
Really like it when Aden broke down his training into explicit details. The differences between the types of his training. I guess the closest comparable to his "live" is our "competition training", great questions by Josh on asking for clarity. Fun to see you guys poke with ECO and CLA and he came back with his preferred methods. Great content!
I’ve been saying there’s a serious lack of match breakdowns and use of matches to learn tech and strategy but also learn more about the person analyzing. Amazing display from Aden and hosts 👏
Failure is a blessing to everyone around you. It’s a learning lesson that teaches others without the pain of learning for themselves. It is absolutely ridiculous to ridicule somebody for blessing you with a free lesson. Personally, I laugh at all my failures which makes it fun to share with others. Also, it’s not a “failure” if you learned from it. If you love learning, you should love “failing.” The only real failure is failing to draw the next breath.
People operate differently in practice. Not even just going easy, how they approach it and do moves, it’s all different from an actual competition. In wrestling I always saw competition when guys almost fight like well there in a street fight but in practice its almost like your in temple, it’s more about the movement rather than how you operate in that fighting mode. Guys feel safe in a practice environment and there familiar with there teammates so they know exactly what level of force to use whereas in a match you have next to no idea so your going balls to the wall
Such a solid comment. I’ve been good gratified my whole life ~ shoot, I’m Italian. Not obese by any means but food has always been the center of holidays. Family is the core, food is the decoration
