Episode 24: Julien Leblanc {Staying Ready For The Opportunity}

This week on the podcast I have my good friend Julien Leblanc talking me through his story. Julien is a professional MMA fighter with a 5-1 record out of Gatineau Quebec.  Coming from the days of being a 16 year old kid who couldn't do a push up  to going undefeated as an amateur MMA fighter, winning a Canadian Championship & finishing 5 straight pro MMA fights, Julien's story is one of adversity.  Over the past two years he has had 5 fights cancelled in a row and continues to work.  This is enough adversity to stop most athletes in their tracks.  However, no matter what you are dealing with in your athletic career and no matter how dark things might look... keep working through it.  The only way you can succeed is to make sure that no matter when that opportunity comes you are ready for it. On top of this, we talk over what top level athletes bring to sport.  Julien's experience working with some of the top MMA athletes in the world and what they all bring to training & performance to continue to be at the level they are. What they bring?* Focusing on performance - Being good in the gym is fine, but the focus needs to be how you perform in competition* Creating opportunities & Taking risks- Dave Leduc developing the sport of Lethwei world wide and creating a name for himself.* Visualization - Building yourself up in your mind.  Knowing what you are going to do and building your confidence
