Episode 26: How to deal with losing to junior belts | Becoming more comfortable training for tougher rolls

from Open Mat Podcast · host Tim Nelson & Adam

At some point in the journey of everyone who makes it past white belt, we deal with "losing" to someone we don't think we should lose to. Whether that loss is being tapped, having our guard passed, or anything in between, this fear costs us training opportunities at open mats, other gyms, and sometimes within our own home gyms. Adam and Tim discuss how to overcome these fears, opening the doors to more enjoyable training and more opportunities to get better.
