E031: Molly Vellacott - Blue Belt

Molly shares how challenging but yet empowering it is to be an older woman competing and training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. She shares her defiance in putting herself forward for competitions, and some absolute gems of mindset from a sports psychologist friend. Making friends and connections through jiu jitsu is really important, the back story and baggage of life aside, we get to meet on the mats without pretense. Molly finds happiness in knowing she has tried, and continues to learn new things and make positive decisions for her own wellbeing. Topics:Finding your sportBenefits of competingAccepting the fun aspectJiu Jitsu is for you!Making friendsCompetitive spiritFocus on fitnessEncouraging thoughtsGrowing strength Read Molly's Blog Post: https://www.graciebarraneepsend.com/post/a-woman-s-road-to-competition-twists-and-turns Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JiuJitsuLou Come and be a part of the show: https://jiujitsulou.com/be-a-podcast-guest/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jiu.jitsu.louFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jiujitsuloupodcastJIU JITSU LOU Merchandise AVAILABLE NOW : https://jiujitsulou.com/shop PRODUCTION CREDIT: Kerr Mathieson of Audio OutsourceMUSIC CREDIT:ARTIST: Maleki Ram | TRACK: Just A Little Boy This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.
