Episode 346: Do you struggle to focus at BJJ Class? Do you zone out when you are at the gym? Small details can make a big difference in both lifting and rolling. Knowing when to tune in and really focus is important. In our distracted age of so much stimulus it is hard to have enough energy to lock in and pay attention.
