why do I keep losing.

It drives insane. It seems like no matter what I do or how hard I try, I still keep losing tournaments. I added a physical fitness regime to my training, I switched Jiujitsu schools, I train in competition class 2-3 times a week not including how the other 1-3 days of standard BJJ training. Yet I've still only beaten one guy in my entire BJJ tournament career.( and I happen to train with him)



Idk what else I'm doing wrong. Yesterday in my tournament, after making weight, I recharged by eating every 30 mins on small carb and electrolight foods. Gatorade, raisins, a slice of wheat bread, whey protein powder, and a banana. All in all I was done eating by 11:30 and fought at 1.



fight begins and opponent immediately pulls guard. I'm struggling to posture up for a second and he spins his hips and locks in a triangle choke. I begin my escape, but to no evaile, and I tap.



next fight is nogi. How fight goes exactly is I go for my single, and land it.

he recovers guard and nearly triangles me again, but i escape. I think attempt to stand up in guard, but I stand out too far, and sweeps me for a foot lock and lands it.



Final match is for third and its me vs some 18 year old wrestler who beat me on points due to two successful takedowns and one pass.



With the exception of the final match I lost all my matches pretty quick.



This really does sadden me. I can't seem to figure out at all why I can't manage to get a win off. Maybe its my mentality, I often feel nervous during my first fight, but afterwards am much more relaxed during the second and beyond. Still not enough for the W though Kind of in a rut right now as to how to improve this.



I know this isn't much to go on, but any thoughts?
