europeans 2026🇪🇺🥉 | rooster adult brown belt 🤎
really happy with the mindset work I put into the training camp for euros, and committing to going in strong. Was able to execute my top game more this time around, and had coach in my corner. 🥹 Came close in the semis, but lost due to a strategy mistake on my part.
Taking away a lot with me this time around. But these things I know for sure, I’m happy I was here, I’m happy I put myself out there, and this is the right division for me.🤎
Competing is always a bittersweet experience ‘cause the nerves are uncomfortable, and there’s so much that’s NOT in your control, but then I tell myself, “ok, one match at a time, one moment at a time” and “what’s my job right NOW”.
All competitors who care want to win, but I was reminded by .jiujitsu that:
“You don’t always get what you want, but you get what you need” —both in training and in competition.
