The Authentic Competitor Experience

by Gustavo Dantas

Elevate Technical Mastery & Mental Performance—in One Complete Experience

The Authentic Competitor Experience helps your students develop both the technical and mindset skills required to perform as their most authentic selves—on the mats, in competition, and in life.

This seminar blends world-class Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instruction with proven mental-performance strategies, giving your students tools to improve physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Participants walk away with insights and techniques they can use immediately in training, competition, and everyday life.

Three Seminar Options

Option 1: The Technical Edge (2 Hours)

In Jiu-Jitsu, windows of opportunity open and close in a split second. This session teaches the technical principles and mental focus needed to act with clarity and speed under pressure.

The curriculum is fully customizable to your academy—focusing on a specific system you request or a topic I suggest—designed to sharpen your students’ positional awareness and reaction speed.

Your students will learn to:

• Understand and apply core principles of positional awareness.

• Improve reaction timing under pressure.

• Reinforce the mindset needed to execute techniques decisively.

Option 2: Introduction to Mental Skills Training (2 Hours)

Inner Discovery for Outer Success

This dynamic and interactive session supports students in becoming their most authentic selves on and off the mats.

It’s not about winning or losing—it’s about discovering the best version of yourself.

Many athletes never reach their potential because of internal barriers, self-doubt, or emotional challenges.

This session introduces practical mental-performance strategies to break through those limitations.

Your students will learn to:

• Identify and overcome mental blocks that limit performance.

• Master focus and emotional regulation in high-pressure scenarios.

• Reflect on challenges and create actionable steps for growth.
