#427 โ€“ Neil Adams: Judo, Olympics, Winning, Losing, and the Champion Mindset

He's the greatest judo winner of all time. Of that, there's no doubt. And I think if you asked him whether he was the greatest judo man in the world of all time, he would say, no, I'm not. And he's not the greatest judo man. There are people with more beautiful judo in some ways, although he's got great technique, but he is the ultimate winner.

There's people getting closer to him, right? Because he's obviously, age-wise and the amount of time that he's been there, he's obviously somebody that is starting not quite at his best as he was when he was younger. But like I say, he still puts it on the line. He lays it on the line every single time. And then not only does he lay it on the line, but he beats them all.

And last week he just beat Saito, who's a young up-and-coming Japanese fighter, and he beat him in the final. It was close, and he did well. There are certain people... The smaller ones, actually, not the taller ones, because we're saying about the big arm over the top that he likes and the dominant grip that he likes. There are people that can give him a hard time.

Now, if at the Olympic Games he has two or three of those on the trot, it might work against him. And it's by no means an absolute certainty that he's going to win the Olympic gold medal, but he's got to be one of the favourites.

You know, for me, he was one of the greatest judo men. And I'm talking about from a technical point of view, from a spectacular judo point of view, understanding the fundamental principles of how techniques work. Sometimes having different techniques that work for you. So if one doesn't work and one particular direction doesn't work, you can change the direction completely.
