Why do most people quit right before they achieve mastery, and how can you build leadership that lasts decades through small, unsexy reps every single day?
I talk with Jay Pages. He owns a gym in Arizona. He describes leaving his career as an officer of loans during a bubble burst to coach. We discuss leadership from the top down and the need for action over words. He explains the journey to a belt and how mastery starts after a decade of practice. We explore the use of games to build skills and how resistance improves learning. Jay shares how he puts his ego in check to learn from students. He explains how training helps him find peace in traffic. We talk about the bonds formed through sweat and the value of choosing a path of discipline.
Key Takeaways
Leadership is built through daily, unsexy reps over decades, focusing on competence over just excitement.
Culture starts at the top. To earn loyalty, a leader must show up for their people when it counts, regardless of their level or status.
The Ecological Dynamics or Constraints Led Approach (CLA) focuses on learning through games and resistance rather than static drilling.
Check your ego to remain a student. Growth stops when you believe you have nothing left to learn from others, including those with less experience.
Jiu-Jitsu makes you comfortable with being uncomfortable, providing mental and spiritual strength that translates into patience in high-stress life situations.
Choose your hard or it will be chosen for you. Disciplined training prepares you to handle life's daily frustrations with a smile.
