Today’s conversation is with Andrew Tackett. He is a jiu-jitsu phenom and a Pan American gold medallist and world championship silver medallist. 

We have a chat about his how he balances his life as a full-time athlete and a student.

We also talk about his ADCC trials experience and a crazy period where he got ill, lost 15 pounds (7kg), recovered and went and competed 3 weekends in a row against world class opponents!

The level of mental strength, self-awareness and wisdom this 16 year old has is incredible. There is no doubt in my mind that he will be a future world champion.

Now let’s jump into the conversation with Andrew Tackett.
