i’ve thought so much about my competition frame of mind and Caleb and Chris really justified some of my pre-game prep…

i’ve always told myself: I’m nervous because i care.

if i didn’t care about my tournament fights i would go into a fight with a ‘whatever’ attitude and not care about the outcome. but i wanna prove that i’m good at jiu jitsu and i’ve trained hard and i wanna show my teacher that i paid attention in class, and etc etc…

but the more i compete the easier it gets i’m less nervous with each fight but still determined to win and compete…

" People sometimes only see it as a way to win or lose, I see it as you always win because, no matter whether you lose or win, you always win something, you always learn something, you always grow your spirit, you always grow your will and always find where your mistakes are so you can improve in the right direction" Whats the worst that can happen? You learn. I'll take that any time! The thing that helps me with nerves in any competition, not just Jiu-Jitsu is something that Renzo Gracie mentions about competition..
