You made me think about when I was younger, when I was probably about 20 years old, I lost.
When I first started competing, I lost for about three years.
I lost for about three years, 13 tournaments.
And I was really investing in myself, like I was betting on myself, right?
I didn't have a lot of money, and it was kind of a crazy thing for me to move to Brazil to pursue this thing called Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu because nobody knew what it was.
We didn't know that the UFC was going to get as popular as it is, right?
Things like that.
Anyway...
after three years in 13 tournaments, I was, you know, I was beating everywhere.
I finally won one, and when I finally won that tournament, I was one of the best blue belts, one of the lower belts in the world.
And I wouldn't have known that if I hadn't have gone through those three years of losing.
And it wasn't that I was terrible, it was just, I either lost my first or second match, it was because I didn't know how to compete, I didn't know these little things, right?
That these other guys that grew up doing jujitsu and competing in jujitsu knew how to do.
And so,
It was those three years and those 13 tournaments that I lost in a row at the beginning of my career that has given me true confidence in my life.
And you mentioned, I just got to keep it together.
I kept showing up.
I felt like my life was over after every tournament.
But the next morning, I got up, got ready, and tried again.
And if I would have given up in that time period, in those three years, I wouldn't have known that.
