Dealing with Tournament Losses...

[andrewbc]

i feel ya bro, i lost yesterday. i trained my ass off, made weight, showed up healthy and ready to go and as soon as the ref said "fight" i had no interest in fighting for some reason. my whole life has revolved around fighting for the last year and a half, i finally get to step on the matt and fight and i shit the bed. tough to deal with.

Heavy Bag,

Ok, you're not a troll. Maybe, I just suck.

The tournaments never seem easy to me. Everyone seems bigger, faster, stronger and more technical - even the kids look intimidating.

You may have the better approach though by expecting to win.

compete so much that competing doesnt feel any different than rolling anymore. by the time i walk off the mats im already over it

My question is what will I do when I finally friggin win.

I am the most experianced and to put it bluntly best sub grappler in my school. Yet I'm one of the only ones who has yet to even medal at a tourney. I'll earn it eventually. But losing isn't bad once you get used to it.:redface:

I'll not lose someday. :icon_cry2
