[Sound on] My ADCC debut match. The first match is crucial. While you may or may not be physically warmed up, you aren’t always mentally warmed up. Not warmed up to the crowd, the lights, the cameras. The first match is your opportunity to build momentum. To have a good first match showing will put you in a good mental state for the rest of the tournament. Many people try to cruise and save energy through the first match because it’s “the least important” or its one of the “easier” matches you’ll have that day. But, if you don’t win the first match, you don’t have a second. Instead you go home. Give every round the focus and determination it deserves. As if it’s the most important match of your life.
