This week, we're joined again by Erin Herle! Erin is a certified mental performance consultant and a black belt under Rubens "Cobrinha" Charles. In this episode, Erin explains how to develop a sense of self-worth in Jiu-Jitsu. She discusses the problem of "performance-based self-worth" and why we should not base our identity around belts, wins, rankings, or comparisons with others.
