Rico reminds me of Wladimir Klitschko in so many ways - he's a big man, but always in great shape, fights smart, has great technique, is being perceived as boring by people who don't understand the sport. He's also very well spoken, polite, respectful, straight up guy, no scandals, trash talking, failed drug tests, fights outside the ring, etc.
Not that you're going to read this but, thank you Joe! As someone who is on a path to become a Sport and Performance Psychologist this was awesome. People can train their bodies day and night, but what about your mind? The way I like to think about it is what is the point of having a nice beautiful muscle car, with a messed up engine? Please post more about Sport Psychology and Performance Psychology. Hit me up!
@@cockzilla13 as someone who also has a deep interest in psychology, I understand that hate stems massively from insecurity, if you’re acting from a place of hate, it says more about you than it does the other person, so I’d suggest you take a good, hard look at yourself and try to overcome those insecurities as I feel sorry for people like you that have nothing better to do than to spread hate and negativity, I wish to help mentally disadvantaged people like you overcome your deep rooted insecurities, perhaps you’ll see the light someday, but certainly not from me 🙌🏼
Thank you for posting this Joe! I’m working my way towards being a sports psychologist and this was so refreshing to hear how working on your mental well being can benefit athletes so much and there’s no shame in dealing with your personal issues in order to benefit your athletic performance specifically. Thank you 🙏🏼
Andrew Stewart people ask me all the time what sport psychology is when I tell them that's what I'm studying so it's great to hear someone who has a big audience like Joe Rogan bring more awareness to it!
The point Joe makes at 5:18 is so critical and is something that is never fully elucidated upon. An essential part of acceptance and ownership. I'll probably come back and listen to this again
Joe Rogan for Man of the Century! This guy can relate to badass meathead fighters(the best on earth) and then have deep conversations with critical thinking geniuses. He is himself a comedian, a badass, a Hunter, an existential philosopher... Etc, etc. You can't sum him up with labels, but this guy is Man in every sense of the word. His interviews help make the world a better place; they provoke thought, motivate and encourage men to be better physically and mentally. If one man can help millions evolve or at the very least teach them to live up to their potential - He should be given the recognition he deserves.
He just asks questions, listens to them, understands and processes the topics they talk about, sums it all up and gives his own understanding and what he thinks about it. Why he's so unique is that most people just wanna talk and not emphasize on listening and asking questions.
@@zeppkfw Very unique. He reallys cares about the topics and his well rounded experience and insight brings a lot to the conversations. It helps that he can say how he really feels most of the time instead of giving a PC answer/response or saying nothing and going to the next topic the way reporters do and in turn the interviews get deeper and there's so much more to hear and really learn.
This is an underrated clip from JRE, I’m a newbie with amateur boxing. The other day a 19 yr old kid kicked my ass (I’m 28) and I got really discouraged. I’m fit but my mental game is really off base.
anxiety comes from thoughts. emotions stem from thoughts. Talking abkut your fears allows for ypur psychy to process the experience and desl with it. Willingly exposing yourself to your fears are the best way of dealing with it.
Of course I feel it’s great to help someone mentally because yes being strong is important in most sports industry. But your mentality can be what makes or breaks a person like having a moment of doubt, and letting it build and feed inside you, like if you’re starting to lose a little and think “man this guys really good I don’t know if I can win” then you already lost. Now if you say “man this guy is really good I gotta kick this shit up a notch, I’m better than this PUSH!” You are now in the right mentality to potentially win.
As a sports psychologist and someone who is in the field, working with some of the best athletes in the world, I just wanted to thank you for bringing more awareness to this topic!
Hello. Inquiring about a sports psychology question. If your heart rate is low during a high stake situation, like at the end of tied basketball game and you are up to shoot free throws, does that mean that you're confident? Thank you.
@@Ash-ly9sz it doesn’t necessarily mean you are confident, it could just mean that you have a low level of cognitive anxiety in this high pressured situation. If you don’t have negative thoughts about the moment then your heart rate doesn’t have to be high, but that doesn’t mean you are confident either.
Hey Joe, you have Ramsey Dewey close to you, in the next 1 or 2 months. Try to contact him. It's very easy to find his email address, or you can just leave comment on his video and he is going to read and answer.
Dude. Most Dutch people speak English effortlessly. If not fluent then at least very well. Unlike all other counties in Europe they don't dub English and american films on TV. They use subtitles. I lived in NL and if you speak English you're good (I wish I spoke Flemish though)... The only other country that does that is Sweden
I always wondered what is the actual reason he won't have the Reem on. Joe is usually very eager for fighters to get on JRE. And Alistair literally yelled out and requested after one fight
Hey joe.....Wes Watson's knowledge will make that guy from Harvard sound stupid. ........ On top of that..he brings real world shit too the game.... Not some educational institutional Token. Get out of your...comfort zone Joe An bring the man on your show Thanks.
