このコンテンツについて
In this episode of Coursen’s Corner, former UFC fighter and BJJ black belt Andrew Craig sits down with Spencer Coursen for a deep dive into the fighter’s mindset, emotional discipline, and the psychological edge that separates world-class athletes from everyone else.
Andrew reflects on the lessons learned inside and outside the cage—from navigating ego and identity, to how fighting is more about emotional regulation than brute force. The conversation covers skillset development, the truth about work ethic, the surprising realities of the UFC, and why Jiu Jitsu is a life practice that can benefit anyone, regardless of age or background.
If you're interested in mindset mastery, high-performance habits, or the philosophy behind elite training, this episode delivers both wisdom and actionable insight.
