Jocko Podcast #4: RENDEZVOUS WITH DEATH, Disrespect, Workouts<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

How important is mentoring? <\/span>https:\/\/youtu.be\/X-kXl-e1stI?t=4032<\/a><\/p>\n

It is very important. You need to find good mentors and suck knowledge from them as much as possible. Mentoring other people is also very important. You need to make sure you are mentoring people right and doing a good job. When you leave, this is what you are leaving behind.<\/p>\n

When mentoring you need to leave your ego aside. The goal of mentoring is too make people that are better than you. And you have to be proud when that happens.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You say you keep your expectations of people low. But do you ever call people out for being disrespectful or things like that? <\/span>https:\/\/youtu.be\/X-kXl-e1stI?t=4389<\/a><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t see a lot of disrespect, people don\u2019t seem to disrespect me a lot which makes it hard for me to answer this question.<\/p>\n

I believe that if you carry yourself well, if you carry yourself respectfully, and you respect other people, not only will people respect you, they will not disrespect other people in your presence.<\/p>\n

All things I tell people to do (get up early, workout, train Ju jitsu, study, better yourself) help people gain confidence. And when you walk around with confidence people respect you.<\/p>\n

Carry yourself with confidence and respect and people will respect you. That will eliminate the need for having to call people out who disrespect you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You do a lot of strength training in your workouts, do you do any stretching or mobility work? Do you think this is important? Especially for an aging Ju Jitsu player. <\/b>https:\/\/youtu.be\/X-kXl-e1stI?t=4597<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

Absolutely, stretching and mobility are important.\u00a0 I don\u2019t do enough and I should do more. But a lot of movements I do, they do incorporate mobility work. For instance when I squat, I squat all the way to the bottom into the full squat position. This gives me good hip mobility. When you do muscle ups or ring dips you are getting some good mobility work for the shoulders.<\/p>\n

Whenever I get injured I spend more time on mobility, which is a bad way to do it. It should be the other way around. I need to be more disciplined with my mobility work. I don\u2019t find it that enjoyable or satisfying. Which is probably why I don\u2019t do enough.<\/p>\n

I do the mobility WOD with Kelly Starrett and I go through his book the Supple Leopard.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Do you think you can have too much on your plate? How do manage multiple tasks? <\/span>https:\/\/youtu.be\/X-kXl-e1stI?t=4967<\/a><\/p>\n

Yes you can have too much on your plate, that being said, you probably don\u2019t have good time management. You’re probably:<\/p>\n
