Every champion has been where you are now – ready to learn, destined to grow, and willing to think differently.
You know how most athletes train their bodies religiously. Yet that’s only a quarter of the battle. 75% of what determines competition success is mostly left untaught.
Chapter 1
Examine the game dynamics of close combat and the fundamental concept of combat resilience, which define what it takes to succeed. You’ll also have the option for a research-based assessment of your mental design to see where the workarounds are needed.
Chapter 2
Look into the nature and tournament impact of confidence and familiarize yourself with the brain’s multi-layered system that builds your confidence. You’ll also get to know the obstacles that needed to be tackled to get your confidence growing.
Chapter 3
Dive deep into the exact details of what is taking place in the brain, and consequently in the body, during a grappling competition, from assessing the opponent to handling the outcome. You’ll be provided with 5 real-life, mini case studies of how the outcome of the mental process shapes the chances of winning.
Chapter 4
Let’s get to work and start building your long-term combat resilience. The methods presented cover self-regulation to maintain a fight-ready state during competition, gaining a balance between recollection and responsiveness, as well as improving emotional regulation, motivation, and technical readiness.
Chapter 5
Let’s continue the work and fine-tune your competition preparation with on-the-spot self-regulation methods to manage the competition environment and tackle performance pressure.
Chapter 6
If you are stuck on the silver plateau, where winning seems only achievable in local competitions, and despite increased training efforts, the results are mainly silver medals, this chapter is for you. You’ll get to know the underlying dynamics and the strategies to keep moving towards gold.
Chapter 7
If you find it challenging to deal with losing and it takes a lot of time and effort to move on, this chapter is for you. We’ll go clear on the cost of a lost fight to understand the role losing a fight plays in building mental resilience, and you’ll learn the core strategies to leverage the changes for long-term competition success.
