Burnout ruins potential 🧸Eric’s wife, Amanda “Tubby” Alequin, is not just a world-class black belt — she’s one of his greatest teachers and motivators 💪💞 📣QUOTE: "When you're no longer doing it for yourself and you're doing it for someone else, it's easy to get up and do things that suck." - Eric Alequin🔹 Valuable Time-Stamps🔹⏰ 00:03:10 – Power of Alter EgosHow top performers step into a different identity to dominate under pressure.⏰ 00:08:45 – Discipline Over MotivationEric explains why systems and standards always outlast fleeting motivation.⏰ 00:15:30 – Neutral Thinking in CombatStaying calm and emotion-free when the fight isn’t going your way.⏰ 00:22:50 – Visualization Before the FightEric’s process for mentally preparing for every detail of competition.⏰ 00:34:40 – Building Identity-Based ConfidenceHow Eric helps students grow through small goals and humility. You Can Contact Eric Here:Phone: (561) 951-7773 Email: [email protected]   🌐 Website: www.ThePeoplesJiuJitsu.com📷 Instagram: www.Instagram.com/thepeoplesjiujitsu📷 Eric’s Instagram: www.Instagram.com/eric.alequin 🔗 LinkedIn: Coming Soon!▶ YouTube: Coming Soon!
