Mini Ep. 34: Zone of Genius


Listen Later

In this week's mini-episode we explain the so-called "zone of genius:" a concept that encourages us to spend our time in the areas where we're most passionate and talented.  This has implications for Jiu-Jitsu strategy: We should build a gameplan that takes the fight to places where we are the most exceptional.  In terms of our skill development, this means we're best off doubling down on our strengths.  Instead of trying to "get good at everything" (which is impossible), we should "get good enough" to avoid losing in our areas of weaknesses, but be exceptional within our areas of strength.  As the old saying goes, we want to avoid being a jack of all trades but a master of none.
