Worry About You

The only thing you can control is you. That doesn't mean it's easy to not worry about what other people are doing or saying, but life is much easier when you're not in other people's business. The same can be said for grappling, you can only worry about you. It doesn't matter how long someone has been training, how big they are, what gear they have on, anything other than I lost because my jiu jitsu needs to be better is an excuse. That's harsh and I have been guilty of making those excuses, but from this stage forward the only reason I or any of my athletes lose is because we didn't grapple well enough. The only thing you can change is yourself, so only worry about what you can do better.
