Recently I got a question from a young guy who said he let his BJJ coach down.
He said that this last he’s been competing in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and winning tons of gold medals. He said recently, he was getting ready for a competition, one of the biggest ones in the country and leading up to it his teammates and coaches were very confident in his abilities to have success at the tournament.
He goes out to the competition and loses first round, by 2 points, to the person who would eventually go and win the bracket.
He sends me a message saying that “I let my coach down, what do I do?”
I asked him WHY he believed he let his coach down. His reply was “I did not live up to the expectations everyone had for me.”
So, I questioned him. Asking him, based upon which actions from them, his coaches and friends, made him feel like he let them down.
You might be surprised at his response, and honestly, this is probably how most coaches feel. If you’re ever feeling let down about a loss at a Jiu-jitsu competition, then maybe this conversation between myself and the messenger can be useful to you.
