Sometimes you need a good ass-kicking .

So I had my first Fight, Bout, Comp, Match (I'm not sure how you actually refer to it) in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu In Valencia. 

It was scheduled for 12.28 in the PM and the weigh-in at 9-ish. However, as it was in Spain I actually got on the mats at 16.48.

The venue was huge and as soon as I laid my eyes on it that's when the nerves and me-old-April started going. 

They came up again at the weigh-in and at different points throughout the day. 

I actually managed to get in a kip too, on the seats in the stands due to the delay (I can kip anywhere, Planes, Trains, cinemas and now sporting events).

But nothing could prepare me for stepping on the mat and seeing who I'm facing. 

You see I'd missed weight by 2 Kg (Shame, Shame) and ended up in the next division potentially giving away a stone to a fella who’s pecs liked to wave hello out of his GI.

When the match started I was made aware that the guy was NOT as strong as some of the guys I've been rolling with and, I thought I'd done well with only a few mistakes and ended up losing on points. 

But, When I watched the video back its obvious that he was always in control, was never really worried after the start and knew more then my tiny head had learned in the 10 months I’d been doing it. 

It was quite a humbling experience. 

What followed was a huge disappointment, self-doubt and a night of thinking what could have been until the realisation that the targets that I had set had actually been hit. 

I wanted to fight in a comp before the year was out (which was in my control) and wanted to not be submitted of which I did both. 

Time for new targets to be set. 

Golfers at the start of every year or summer for that matter, set targets to cut scores, others set targets to lose weight (and worry it might affect their golf, and It can if not managed right)

They also do this by setting targets they can’t control... like cut 2 strokes or lose 2 stone. 

But if you set targets that are in your control you will have better results and a lot less pain, frustration, and the “F-it I give up” attitude. 

More context needed? your wish is my command. 

Instead of cutting 2 strokes (Which isn’t completely in your control) what if you worked on the weakest part of your game consistently (Which you can control) 

Instead of losing weight, what if you focused on training daily, eating better and stop making excuses for why you can’t do those things. 

Enter the GolfMob online 30 day transformation and its accompanying FREE golf nutrition plan, if you want to know what to eat on and off the golf course for better performance on it then this free download might be for you.

but you will actually have to do something, not just read the plan and add it to your “soon to-do list”. 

Results require’s action, and this FREE plan and its daily emails actually filter out those golfers who would be a terrible fit to get the results from it.

That's why the full program is application only, it requires hard work, consistency and you have to actually stop the excuses that keep you stuck..

Double-lively Skipping

Just finished wrapping up the intro videos to the Online GolfMob

By the time it was finished, it is close to 45 minutes of content including:

The intro (of course, gotta have an intro)

Why the GolfMob works, (very simple and it's not because of the exercises)

Playing and winning the game. (make it a game, you want to win)

Tracking and measuring, (most men haven't used a tape measure on their bodies since they were teenagers)

Why you fail, why you succeed, (why you beat yourself up and how to stop it)

The TPI golf screen, (where are you throwing away shots and distance?)

Your Golf fitness handicap, ( get this down and you add distance)

And the best phone apps for constant daily improvement.

Now, that's a lot of info, and most people may want to just skip through to the training double-lively.

The foundation could be shorter, have some content removed so that it's not so long, but the fact is the foundation of this is SO important.

If you don't have a clear reason why you are doing it, how you will do it, what will stop you, as well as not understanding what you need to be
tracking and measuring, how can you get the best results possible.

If you don't know how to play and win and what daily actions to take,

if you don't have a golf fitness handicap telling us what's hindering you and your swing from top to bottom, then we cant do what needs to be done to get the best results you want.

Everyone's like "right let's go", crash straight into it, "give me all the cool stuff first".

In golf everyone just wants to get on the golf course, no one wants to warm up, no one wants to practice, everyone wants to just play.
But it's in the foundations that anything is built correctly.

Take for instance a house, if the foundations are two bob it doesn't matter what you build on it, it still has a weak foundation and it can all go wrong.

There's only so much you can put on top of a sh*t foundation, so the foundation video series that's part of the GolfMob online might be a bit long but the information that's in there is vital to everything you do after, the key to any success and lasting long term results.

There's only so far you can go without the right foundation and the right plan.

When you look at your life and what you want to achieve whether it be fitness, or in your work, your family or your own self-confidence.

If you don't lay the right foundations, if you start without the right information and the actions necessary to build a bigger platform from, then you won't get the best results.

So whatever it is you are doing, whatever it is you want to succeed at.

Have a look and see if you have built the right foundation, do you know enough, are you taking the right actions to get what you want.

If that target happens to be golf performance, if it happens to be golf fitness, then build it around a strong foundation.

If you want to be a fitter, leaner, sharper golfer who hits the ball further, then maybe the foundation of the golf mob is exactly what you need.

It's up to you

As likely as an honest man in Westminster.

In October, just shy of 10 months after starting, I will be fighting in my first Brazilian Jiu-jitsu competition.

And the odds are against me, the chances of fighting someone with as little minutes on the mats as me are few and far between, actually there is more chance of an honest man turning up in Westminster.

So why am I doing it?

Because at the start of every year I list potential things that are challenging.

So in January, 6 weeks after starting, I asked my professor what would be a challenge for a man like myself in Bjj.

I was thinking along the line of:

How many stripes on my belt would be a good target by the end of the year?

How many days of training would be competitive?

You know, that type of thing.

His reply.

"If you want to challenge yourself then you have to compete by the end of the year".

I can say with honesty at that moment that my april shrank a little bit.

that wasn't the expected reply.

"You said you wanted to challenge yourself. the way to challenge yourself is to compete".

So here we are, less than a month out and confidence is hardly sky-high, however, there will be more learned from doing it then hiding from it.

And, I can't really fail.

I can win, I can lose, but I can only fail if I don't compete.

People think they are afraid of failure.. but that's just not true.

what people are actually afraid of is being seen as a failure by others.

That's the painful part, there will be the odd guy that says;

"No not me, I don't care what others think"

OK, if that's the case I'm gonna have you just think that you fail every day in one shape or form,

You set targets, things that need to be done, food you’re gonna eat or not eat, changes you're gonna make and you fail to do them.

The reason why it's not painful is that no one even knows about it.

You've just failed in private, and it's only you that knows it.

If you think different, write a list of everything you plan to do and tell EVERYONE.

Failing in public opens up two things.

Criticism from others and showing our weakness.

We all have weaknesses, (just take a look at Arsenals back 4, I've seen monkey poo fights in the zoo that have more organisation.)

If you don't have a fear of failure then you can take action.

So if you have something you want to do, tell people. It will keep you accountable and motivate you even more to move.

You still might not go through with it but your commitment will be increased, due to the chance of public ridicule and facing it will make you stronger mentally.

If you want to become stronger mentally, fitter and have a golf swing that is more powerful, then there is something for you.

It's here

https://www.johnseton.com/golfmob-online-plan

But, if you are not doing something because of what others might think or say, you are holding yourself back from growth and improvement.

Even if you do mess up, people will only care for a second before they go back to worrying what others think of them.

Why give them the satisfaction.

Do something today that you've been putting off, and just see where it takes you.

Gott a three-er

We have been under a storm cloud for well over a week out here.

The Spanish call it a gota fria ( a bad-ass storm that makes you realize how insignificant you are, and also sounds like someone asking for 3 hundred quid) and It has been tearing up Alicante, Valencia, and Murcia to name a few.

In April, a local town to us, Javea, took a hammering, plenty of damage and apparently that wasn’t even a gota fria.

So, with sandbanks being built on the beach, schools, and bars closed, it's been a waiting game of damage and fear.

However, somehow it has missed us.

Either side of us there is carnage, damage, and danger but somehow Moraira, Javea, and Benitatxell have just had bad weather.

If it wasn’t for whats-app and anti-social media you wouldn’t even know that some serious sh*t had gone down

You would be completely unaware, of the dangers that are around you.
safely in a bubble with no idea of what could go wrong.

However, most people have no idea what's happening in other areas of their life including their health.

Take your body, if it’s slightly off, or you just keep getting colds or you're constantly waking up tired, or tight or angry that you're feeling older then you should, but you think that things are not so bad, your...

Just a bit “under the weather” but you have no idea of the storm that’s brewing, the destruction that’s going on and because you don’t get to see it, you are completely unaware of the effects your current lifestyle is having on your body, your health, and your future.

Things might be ok, you're "under the weather" feeling may just pass but it also could be a wake-up call to get yourself prepared for the storm that’s around the corner.

Consistency breeds habits and habits breed improvement.

If you have simple daily habits, you will inevitably improve.

We should still be able to get better as we get older.

If you want to make your body better with the added bonus of more distance in your golf swing (and that bonus will keep you on track and stop you giving up like everyone else) and want to do it without leaving the house, then take a look at the GolfMob online.

Let’s be clear.

Any man can get serious results with this program but it requires “hard work”

If you were born before the Millennium but act like a self-entitled Millennial then this program is not for you.

It’s built for men born in the ’70s and ’80s and knows that results require hard work and effort.

There could be a big storm not too far away and you can ignore it or be prepared for it

Are you coming up short because of what you are eating?

Do you feel you are losing distance in your full swing as you get older?

Is this causing you to make poor decisions with club selection?

Are you eating the same foods you’ve always have?

As you may currently be finding out, getting older is likely reducing your club-head speed and with it your distance, so...

how much distance can you afford to lose?

5, 10, 15 yards?

But what about food, I'm gonna have you consider that what you are eating may be affecting your scores too.

Could you be motivated to do something about it or is it a case of "that's just what I do".

There was a fella who was having issues with his back when playing golf.

Not enough to stop playing, or pop pain killers but enough that he was aware of it when he was playing.

(and believed it was effecting his swing) but also he felt that his back would be extra stiff after playing.

Not in pain, just stiff. He had been like this for over a year and just believed that was all it was, a case of getting older.

Now, this fella’s pal, had been part of a clinic day I had put on about tightness in the body at a local golf course.

And he told him about a very specific on-course nutrition plan that I had taught in the session.

(this was actually just a conversation about what one particular coach in Canada, that got his team to eat a certain way, and wasn't even part of the course I was teaching that day)

This was 6 months before him coming to see me, by then he was in better shape, he was less stiff after playing and,

He was feeling powerful in the last few holes rather than feeling his game go to the karzi.

But, he had also started hitting the ball a little further.

He had been working, off of the information he had gotten from his pal at the clinic.

Simple actions that had allowed him to know what to eat on and off the course and, with that he had lost weight.

By the time he had come in the clinic he only needed one session to point him in the right direction to add more distance as he had done most of the work, off of the course all by himself.

All for no cost (no financial cost at least, as he did have to implement these simple tactics and not just nod his head and do what most people do which is F-all)

All he had been using was the notes his pal had taken, about a very simple plan to follow.

Enough information to take action, telling him what to add, what to avoid, how preparation comes before you play golf not just by swinging two clubs before you play.

He also lost half a stone too.

I've now bundled that info into a simple report with some added bonuses if you want it, but...

Your results may vary, and you will need to take action on the information and not just think:

“That's cool”, or,

“Never heard that before it won't work”, or,

“I knew that already” (and then still don't take action).

This simple plan has everything a golfer needs for more energy, power, focus and to lose that derby.

it's built on sound fitness principles with some high-level stuff about optimal performance for golf pros at the Titleist Performance Institute.

You will be wasting your time if you don't do anything with the info,

Actually, if you are a lazy person, have no interest in bettering yourself, and think that results come from a magic pill, or secrets, or something just invented or information alone.

And not from fundamentals, work, persistence, dedication, and consistency, then you are doomed to spend your time looking for some more information to do nothing with.

Information is cool, but taking action on information is where results happen.

If you want to know more about on and off course nutrition specific for golfers, that can help you and your golf, as well as your body AND, are not too lazy to implement.

then go to the link below and I'll email you this 16-page plan.

But a warning, only about 20% (maybe less) of this information is new that you may never have heard before.

It's based on sound fundamentals and being consistent.

Heres the outrageous self-promotion link.
