Podville # 11: Jocko Willink’s conversation with Jiu-Jitsu Master Rickson Gracie

Exercising control through awareness of breathing, even during jiu jitsu championship matches.The great value of a culture of honor, respect, and humility. Responsibility goes with being the best and/or the leader Rickson’s father Helio, himself a great champion, de-emphasized winning: “one if you win, two if you lose." You can learn much more by losing than by winning. Natural talent can be a problem, because easy wins early on can make you believe you don’t have to work. Differences between average people and super-successful people.Using rage to break out of inertia — Rage not sustainable. Energy management through breath; wind = Spirit, breath = soul — exhaling the negative, inhaling the positive. Your toughest competition: you — You have to go through suffering to get beyond it — Aim for overcoming weakness, not for attaining greatness — The ultimate value of competing with yourself only.
