Brock Garlick

I believe being a great coach starts with patience, and understanding that everyone learns at a different pace. A technical approach is the core of my instruction. When students ask questions, I listen, and explain techniques in a way they can understand.

As a coach, I take immense pride in our team’s outstanding performance during the competition . Each individual demonstrated unwavering dedication, emphasizing that, for me, the focus lies more on the effort invested than the ultimate results. Regardless of victory or defeat, there are areas for improvement for everyone. Our day comprised both triumphs and setbacks, prompting us to return to the academy to meticulously enhance our techniques. This process is an integral part of our collective journey. The relentless hard work and discipline exhibited by these young athletes continue to astonish me.

Goal setting is a dynamic process, and it's okay to refine your goals as circumstances change. The key is to stay focused, motivated, and adaptable throughout the journey. Here are some ways you can plan better for your 2024 jiu jitsu year:

Organize your goals into different categories based on areas of your life. 
✨ Create an Action Plan:
Outline the specific steps you need to take to achieve each goal. 
✨ Seek Accountability and Support:
Having a support system can significantly increase your chances of success.
