On this episode, Chewy and Eugene discuss how setting expectations in Jiu-Jitsu can make you fragile as well as lead to frustration in training.

We also discuss how to build a healthy ego in Jiu-Jitsu. We talk about getting caught by less experienced training partners, how we are constantly changing, the importance of having a plan, the book “The Worry Cure,” for dealing with rumination, what we get wrong about the ego, how to help students get out of a rut, focusing on the “small wins” in training, and how competing can help your ego and build more grit.
