Hi guys,
Fought my first comp yesterday and lost every match. I can't begin to tell you how I felt because I honestly don't know how to a accurately explain my feelings.
I weighed in at 118.7 kg. There were two other guys in the +100 category. I entered both fights feeling no nerves. I found this strange as I expected to have butterflies/ stomach churning feeling prior but these never came. Is this normal? Why didn't I feel anything.
The fights themselves felt ok, I never felt overpowered and felt my grip fights was good. Unfortunately the good stuff ended there and once is stepped on to the mat, my mind went blank and all the technique I'd practiced seemed to had deleted itself from my mind. One positive that I took away from
The even was my fitness. In comparison to my opponents, i felt miles ahead with my fitness. It was just the silly mistakes I'd made that had let me down and lost me the two matched.
Upon reflection I realise that it's my first competition and that I'm only a yellow belt . I've played rugby all my life, and been able to deal
With defeat in the team environment very easily. In judo however, one is on his own, and feeling of losing is all on my shoulders. If yesterday's events taught me anything it's that judo definitely teaches you how to lose.
My challenge now is to get back into the dojo and gym. I'm
Going to train my heart out for the next five weeks improve in my mistakes and attempt to improve before the Welsh closed competition on June 7th.
Has anyone had similar experiences and what did you do to improve?
