And the crazy thing is, is that I had such good advice as well, you know, when it came to kind of fitness training and things like that. We're quite ahead of our time and, you know, we've really had it nailed as far as the conditioning was concerned.

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

I think in the early days, I didn't think I was going to lose. I never thought it was possible to lose. And I think that I went into every contest expecting to win. So when it didn't quite go my way, I didn't lose that many contests. So the only ones I lost were in the final of the World Championships or in the final of the Olympic Games. So I didn't lose that many. I never lost a European title.

I had seven golds at European championships, five at seniors, two at juniors, under 20s. And I never lost a final. And then I only lost two on a split decision. So I didn't lose that many. And my attitude was that I wasn't going to lose and I couldn't lose. So I was always surprised when something happened.

And, you know, since I've kind of calmed down, I see athletes now and I see them, you know, and their kind of arrogance, their walk and it's a strut, you know, and it's a kind of a confidence, isn't it? You know, and as we're older and as I've become older, I've calmed down. But, you know, it doesn't matter what I'm doing.
