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

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.

Yeah, I'm still trying to win, you know. Like, so my son loves to, he loves to play me at bowls because I'm useless, you know, and I just can't throw a straight bowl. So he loves playing me at that, you know, but it bugs me that I'm not better, you know. Yeah, yeah. There are certain things that I do. It really bugs me when I'm not good at it.

And I guess it's one of the reasons that, you know, long after I'd finished competition judo, people still want to train with you, you know. And even at a, like, kind of an older age, even now, if I do in a seminar or, you know, they'd still, you know, do you still do? Do you want to still go? Yeah. Can I feel it?

And one of the things that's in me is that I just, all the way up to 40 years of age, so from 30 when I finished competition up to 40, I could still train with the best. And I could still go with anybody. And then when 40 hit, kind of things started to fall off a little bit, you know, and I used to get, you know, either my hips or my legs and my knees.
