What Was Holding Him Back: She performed great in training but struggled to perform consistently under pressure, matches kept slipping away in the final moments until she built the mental tools to compete with confidence.
Jasmine shares her background and competition history.
She was dominating matches… then suddenly losing. The performances just didn’t make sense.
Top-four at Brazilian Trials, up on points… then lost. "Matches I should be winning, and I’m not."
More training, more conditioning — didn’t help. “I thought I was mentally tough. I wasn’t.”
Training room = 100%. Competition = 60–70%. That gap was mental.
Focused on controllables. Felt like she wanted to be there, not that she had to be.
One month of coaching → 7 matches → finals appearance at the toughest women's bracket in history.
No sleep. Pounding head. “I couldn’t control my body… but I could control my mind.” Result: Worlds silver.
Warm-up, highlight tape, music, structure. “Simple stuff — but now I do it with intention.”
Relaxed between fights. Locked in when it counted. Learned to switch on/off like a pro.
38 wins out of 47 matches. 63% submission rate. Podiums at ADCC, Worlds, and more.
“If your body isn’t ready… make sure your mind is.”
