This video is based off of a question I got about gaining confidence to return to sport after injury.

There are some key ideas and tips to begin before getting back to training and also when you are starting your journey back on the mats.

The post How To Mentally Prepare To Return To BJJ (After Injury) appeared first on jitseasy.

Today’s video comes from Elijah who wants information about books on mental toughness. He said he knows I’m a reader and wants book recommendations on books to develop mental toughness for BJJ and life.

In this video I share some ideas on how I develop mental toughness for Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and life. I also share why you don’t build mental toughness from reading. Books can be a great tool to get new ideas from. But they’re like techniques. You have to put the ideas into practice. They can’t sit on the shelf. But with that I share 3 books I think are worth reading in relationship to mental toughness.

If mental toughness and being gritty is something you’re trying to do. I hope the video is useful to you.
