Behaviors of Competitors

Black Belt or Bust

Our discussion today revolves around some behaviors we have observed in competitors as well as ourselves. This is not the same as a competitive behavior so much as behaviors like selfishness, sportsmanship, portrayal on social media, and gameness. We also reflect on having realizations on where you are at with your jiu jitsu and how that impacts your preparation for competitions. Then we wrap things up by going over why some people even compete and understanding that all of your time and energy used to prepare for competitions have to come somewhere. Which ultimately means that if you want a healthy life balance and to be able to do jits for the long run, you need to have a balance or you will burn out.
