Life isn’t always a smooth ride. Especially when you want to achieve something bigger than “everyday stuff” – be it in your family life, career, or whatever else… Like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
And one of the biggest reasons for that? It’s the doubters.
So, when push comes to shove against people who don’t believe in you, make sure to remember the following advice from John Danaher:
For every person who believes you have the ability to get to your goals, there will be a thousand who doubt you.
Make sure you, yourself, don’t become one of those thousand – in a world of doubters stay true to your self belief.
This lesson is useful not just in life, but on the competition podium too – as well as the one of staying calm:
If you can stay calm when everyone else is overly excited you’ll have an advantage before the action even begins.

But how do you build this confidence? It’s by knowing that you put in the work:
Confidence doesn’t come from words, it comes from accumulated skills; which – experience shows you – have been responsible for successful performances in the past.
And if you’ve accumulated enough of these, your confidence rises.
