Making of a Champion: Advanced Competition Coaching Program

Private preparation work built around your competition history to align the brain-body-social components of success.

for MMA, BJJ, submission grappling

The work is specific.

The process is structured.

The goal is predictable outcome.

Competition history is made up of a string of internal and external elements. When those elements don’t line up, results break down, often without an obvious reason.

This program exists to identify and correct that.
BJJ

``Strong program, we worked through my competition prep in detail, and the coach cut straight to what mattered for my comps. Clear direction on what to train.``

Pedro O.

Midweight Latin-American champion

MMA

``Deep work, but practical. The coach pushed me through the mess I had in my head. It made a real difference.``

Laura M.

Heavyweight MMA fighter

BJJ

``Well run, professional, and clean from start to finish. The team handled scheduling and tech issues smoothly. Felt ready stepping back on the mat.``

Ricky S.

Heavyweight fighter

Is this familiar:

Results are random

Some bouts go to plan. Others don’t. No obvious difference that explains.

Progress stalls

Preparation efforts are increased but competition outcomes stay the same.

Finals break down

The run in clean until the highest-stakes. Your game shifts there.

Program structure.

Week 1 - Fight History Review

Review of past bouts, wins and losses, what held, what didn’t, and where the game slipped. We look through how you prepared, how you fought, and where those two stopped matching. We discuss training structure, weight cuts, warm-ups, pacing, habits between rounds.

 

From here, the work continues online until the next time. You’ll receive drills and direct feedback through a secure platform.

Week 2 - Training vs Comp Gap

The topic is competition patterns, shifts in your game from sparing to comp fights, from low to high-stakes. We break down the misalignment and detect the blind spots.

 

You’ll submit video from past competitions and, when available, hard sparring. Footage is reviewed in advance and discussed directly during the meeting.

Week 3 - Preparation optimization

We strip your preparation down to what survives in competition. Reorganizing technical priorities, drills, repetition structure, response patterns under fatigue and stakes. Your training plan is revised to support competition first.

 

Access to the relevant materials in The Brain & Combat series is provided where needed, if not accessed earlier.

Week 4 - Comp Plan Integration

Locking the plan. You leave with a clear competition prep structure, defined priorities before and during the event, and applicable rules for internal and external regulation for competition environments.

 

During the final week, you apply the plan. Feedback is exchanged directly to tighten execution before the next competition.

On-demand - Refinements

Additional meetings are available to accelerate or adjust the plan if change in capacity or shift in competition goals occur.
