John Danaher Explains How (Not) To Go About Your BJJ Competition Game Plan

John Danaher Explains How (Not) To Go About Your BJJ Competition Game Plan

The day of competition is fast approaching and you are becoming increasingly excited and nervous about it…
And so does your thinking – especially when it comes to your game plan.

You are going over it over and over, trying to figure out the details, the minutia to making it picture-perfect.
But should you really go about your game plan like this? Or should you be taking another route?

Well, John Danaher believes that you should keep it simple.
Especially as you close in on competition day.

Here is what he had to share via social media:

The closer you get to a match the simpler your understanding of what you want to do to win must become, until by the time you step on the mat you can reduce your game plan to just one or two sentences.

Yes, he wants you to narrow it down…
But just enough:

Have a general sense of what you plan to do.

Anything too specific will often get shredded in the opening minutes of a match where there is so much chaos and unexpected events.

A very broad idea of what how you want to engage will survive the shock of combat, but an overly detailed managerial plan will often get derailed in the opening seconds by something you could never have foreseen.
