Keeping Motivated and Goal-FocusedFor many of us, the COVID-19 disruptions have given us a small gap in time to re-focus on what is important to us in our lives. For some of us, this has meant changing jobs, changing fitness routines, or re-connecting with old friends. However, for some of us, the staggered return to "normal" has meant that we still cannot train, that competitions have been cancelled, and even catching up with our training partners is out of reach. This can make us feel detached and unmotivated to return to training. Where's that BJJ To-Do list?Well, we can't help you book overseas holidays or to get back on to the competition mats, but use this space as time to re-focus on your BJJ goals. Write a list of five things that you want to achieve in BJJ in 2022. Perhaps you want to attend the Pan-Pacific games, perhaps you want to visit another ROOTS gym, perhaps you want to do 300 sit-ups per day, perhaps you want to beat that one opponent in the next competition. Write that list and get goal-focused. And our BJJ Kids?This is also great strategy for kids that are getting a bit tired as they head in to the end of the year. With kids, keep it at three goals and make the timeframe shorter (e.g., two to three weeks maximum). A small reward (extrinsic motivation) can also work wonders with kids. Make it PublicShare your list with your family, friends, or instructor. Set a time limit. Let's see how you go! Setting short to long-term goals is a great way to keep you motivated and keep focused on BJJ.

Many students have come to me over the years for personal coaching when they feel like they need something to shift in their game. Maybe they have stopped learning, maybe they are not progressing, maybe they have been on the same belt for years, or maybe they never seem to win a fight no matter how hard they try. These are all common training issues in sport and martial arts. If you feel like this is you, or if you feel like you simply want to improve your game, progress faster, or get personalised coaching, then individual coaching sessions with me are the way to go. I will work with you to highlight your areas of strength, identify your areas of weakness, and develop a personal plan to improve your game and understanding of BJJ. It does not matter if you are just starting out or if you are already an experienced BJJ athlete, there is always something that you can work on. In the sessions, I will provide you with insights in to how fights work, and will help you to improve your BJJ mindset all from the convenience of your own home or gym in Australia or anywhere in the world. Personal coaching is open to all students and all belts. Sessions can be done in English or Portuguese. LOCATION All coaching sessions are currently being run online. ONE COACHING SESSION Target specific areas of your training through an individualised coaching session.
THREE COACHING SESSIONS Target specific areas and get feedback as you develop through a series of three coaching sessions. Sessions can be planned on a fortnightly or monthly basis to give you time to work on areas of strength or improvement.
