Rafael Lovato Jr. On the Competitive Mindset and Knowing Your "Why"

 


"What's your goal, your purpose, your 'why'? Of course, we all love jiu-jitsu. We love to learn. The vibe, to train, to get better. But when you sign up for a competition, that's a step beyond. That's a step beyond just being a normal practitioner. So, why are you competing? Why are you challenging yourself? You have to know that. You have to know what your inspiration is. Because when things get tough, and there's a hard battle in front of you and you want to break, if you don't know your 'why', you're going to be at a disadvantage."
