In this episode of the Emerald Grappling Podcast, Aaron is joined by returning guest David Zamora, a BJJ brown belt, the striking coach at Lakeland Jiu Jitsu, and one of the most active competitors on the circuit. David catches us up on his incredible run since his last appearance, which includes securing Quad Gold at the Galway International Open, a Gold and two Bronze medals at the ADCC Ireland Pro Divisons, and a strong performance at the IBJJF NoGi Euros.We discuss the power of consistency and how it has been the driving force behind his recent competitive success and his promotion to brown belt. David shares the story of how he became a sponsored athlete for Scramble Brand and takes us inside the two Scramble Camps he attended in Malaga. He describes what it was like training alongside some of the best competitors in the world and recounts a memorable "final boss battle" roll that took place on the second to last day of the camp.Our conversation delves into the lifestyle of a full time athlete, with David breaking down his daily non negotiables regarding sleep, supplements, and recovery both in and out of camp. He explains how his approach to training has evolved over the last year and offers insight into his role as a coach, detailing the work that goes into growing a business and building a high level room for both striking and Jiu Jitsu.Finally, David reflects on whether losses serve as a more powerful motivator than wins and shares his mindset on waiting for big opportunities to present themselves. He offers critical advice for listeners on the importance of listening to your coach to become the best version of yourself and highlights the one aspect of Jiu Jitsu that he feels too many grapplers are currently neglecting.⏱️ CHAPTERS🟢 FOLLOW DAVID ON INSTAGRAMInstagram → https://www.instagram.com/daviid__0909/----------------------------------------------------------------------------SPEND LESS, SUPPORT MORE 🫶🏻Make sure to check out David's sponsor, Scramble, for some of the highest quality grappling gear on the market.
