Why Calling Yourself A "Hobbyist" In BJJ Is Dangerous (Episode 366)

On this episode of the podcast, Chewy and Eugene discuss the idea of training and thinking like an athlete instead of as a hobbyist.

We discuss why this mindset shift to training as an athlete is important for longevity, how an athlete treats their body compared to how a hobbyist, the foods chewy avoids before training BJJ, how diet can impact performance, the importance of rhythm and routine, holding yourself accountable, why you have to identify and eliminate your distractions, why lack of motivation is a lack of focus, and how Chewy keeps himself inspired.
