Do you second-guess yourself on the mats?
Like, when you go for a move, you don’t really give it your all – but sort of hold back, expecting that it will fail?
If so, then you’ve surely noticed how this becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
How, even if your technique is good, you don’t succeed at it because of the holding back.
It’s high time that you change this. You have to commit to your techniques, especially to your attacks.
John Danaher explains why this is the case:
Entering into an attack without sufficient commitment to carry it through to completion is almost always a guarantee of failure.
When you go into an attack with the intention of winning with it – go in with the commitment required to win with it.
Even if you’re faking an attack to set up another you’ll need sufficient commitment to creat the APPEARANCE that you’re going in to win with that move.
You have to commit, you cannot be too timid about the technique:
Moves applied with excessive timidity are as apt to fail as moves that lack sound mechanics.
That doesn’t mean going crazy in the gym – it just means recognizing what level of force application is required to get the job done and making sure that timidity doesn’t put you below that force requirement.
Make your calculation and go!
