Episode 73: Mike Roe {Just Stick With It}

This week I have lifelong martial artist Mike Roe on the podcast. Mike has been competing in Martial Arts since he was a little kid and in that time has had the opportunity to compete at the top levels in competitions around the world, with his focus now turning to MMA.
.
From Mike's experiences the most important thing I can take away that I hope you all do too is to stick with things. When you watch great martial artists on TV, or great athletes in ANY sport they did not just wake up one day competing at the top level.  Those highlight reels you see or those incredible skills you admire were developed over YEARS of practice and repetition.  So if you are working on a new skill you are trying to apply in sport, don't give up. Keep working on it, keep practicing it and trust in the process. Over time it will continue to improve and you can become one of the elite athletes you currently admire. 
.
Finally, another crucial point for me from this interview was Mike's focus on visualization. What I found especially interesting was that Mike not only visualizes good things happening, but also negative outcomes as well.  Focusing on how to deal with negative results that may arise allows athletes to go into competition without fear. Understanding that no matter what happens you will be okay and you will be able to move forwards allows you to focus on your performance instead of focusing on how to avoid those negative outcomes coming into reality.
