...is just showing up. I don't remember who said it, but it is so true. You want to pass college, go to class. You want to be good at jiu jitsu and reach your goals, show up to class.
I know its not that easy, but one of the things I have found that has been successful with me is to set a schedule. I train jiu jitsu Monday night, kick boxing Tuesday night, train jiu jitsu Wednesday night, train kick boxing Friday, and do open mat every other weekend. I don't deviate from that unless there is a holiday, injury/sickness or special occasion.
Don't flash train. I see these guys that are gung ho for a week and then they burn out. Even if you are coming off an injury and jonesing for it, make a schedule and stick to it.
Even if you can just come once a week and the second day is variable. Make that day. No excuses. Get in the car, get on the T and get here. The rest will take care of itself and you are always glad you did afterwards.
Things taste better, the couch feels comfier.
