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

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.

Yeah, and he finds it more difficult with shorter people. So it would have been a very interesting confrontation. And I think if you asked Yamashita, he would probably say that Teddy Renner, he's very gracious. He's really gracious. Mm-hmm. It would be really good. It would have been an unbelievable matchup. And I've got to say this, that, you know, Teddy Renner is the greatest winner of all time.

But if they fought again, 10 minutes later, you go- You're not going to catch me with that, right? You've got a different situation here. And so it's slightly different. But the best fighters adapt like that.

Yeah, sometimes they'll hit first time and it won't go. And then you make a readjustment of the way in. It's a little bit like, I mean, if you take a really easy way of understanding it, is if we're shooting at a target, And all of a sudden you start moving that target.
