I went back and watched it b/c there are obviously a lot of people who do Jiu-Jitsu.

Olympic athletes all discuss the important of visualization and mindset and self-affirmations et cetera.

Competing across two divisions over the course of two days in one of the biggest tournaments in the world and winning is a different animal.
You can't just win one battle. It is a series of battles with many variables that must be addressed: fatigue, strategy, focus, doubt, et cetera.
