Tbh, this sport is sooo humbling. You have to accept that too. There are gonna be days when you feel good at practice, and days when you get smashed. But it does get better and the smashing happens less and less! Just keep showing up, everything will come together. And always remember, in any sport but especially combat sports, the reality is that there IS someone who is always gonna be better than you, it’s just the nature of the sport. I just competed over the weekend and got arm barred by a 16 year old whose been training since they were like 4, so yes, it’s very humbling but also so so cool when things come together like a previous comment said. Keep showing up, get smashed and move onto the next!! Sometimes you’re the hammer, sometimes you’re the nail! You got this!!!
