Episode #5: Bruno Alves — Discipline, Focus, and Daily Excellence
Welcome to Episode #5 of Season 3 of High Performance with Joe Sprange.
Today, my conversation is with Bruno Alves, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt and multiple-time world champion. It’s an inspiring look into his incredible journey - from arriving in Australia in 2011 with very little, to now leading an impressive network of 27 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academies.
We go right back to the foundations of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu:
discipline, humility, and a relentless dedication to the craft.
For Bruno, high performance is simple and demanding:
performing above the average, not once, but consistently.
His keys are:
· keep learning
· stay focused on your goals
· have self-discipline
The quote that stayed with me:
“Get comfortable with the uncomfortable.”
In this episode, we explore the mindset required to push beyond your limits, how to stay anchored to long-term goals, and why self-discipline is the engine behind every breakthrough.
I’ve got some great guests coming up soon — more stories, more lessons, and more ways to elevate your own performance. So don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss an episode of High Performance with Joe Sprange.
