Consistently Above Average

A series of Podcasts by Andrew McGahon largely linked to the sport of Brazilian JiuJitsu, with the scope of expanding off into something else in the future. For those in the world who have slightly higher aspirations than normal, but seemingly lack the cutting-edge attributes of the high performers, Consistently Above Average is tongue in cheek for those currently happy in the 51-70% range. Wondering what life might be like in the higher bracket.

Everybody is able to train when the conditions are perfect, why it's so important to keep doing it when they are less than ideal. and some early morning petrol station thoughts for you to finish the episode.

Episode 8, my favourite numbers. Why do you ask? No problem, I'll answer it.Another Week, ANOTHER E-MAIL. What a pleasure.The e-mailler poses (kind of) a two-part question and ultimately concludes they may not have asked a question at all, but I still do my best to make an attempt at an answer.We are going to have "The Last Dance" this Sunday as there's another big NoGi Europeans training session happening in Newry.And in completely unrelated content to JiuJitsu, I take note of some of my algorithm

I got an e-mail during the week that influences a large part of this weeks episode. Comes from someone who felt a particular problem or reluctance to want to continue with JiuJitsu as they attempt to re-learn several fundamentals.It sprawled off into a much wider disucssion and thought process, so thank you very much listener for the e-mail.I've also marked this episode as explicit because I'm pretty sure I cursed once or twice by mistake. Sorry to any young ears who might have caught a stray. I

We had brilliant training last Sunday and then I followed it up with one of my worst sessions in years. The sea saw of going up and down at different parts when you are preparing for a tournament is normal. Hopefully I'm able to normalise it here a little bit. A little chat about how prep + performance can be two different things entirely, as well as the fact how some people can just switch it on when it matters most. and in nothing more than sheer luck, when recording and preparing this episode i

2024/09/06

Feeling like you are not improving as quick as you would like is a very common feeling in Brazilian JiuJitsu. Maybe what you are valuing as the main metric of your own improvement could be changed? Or perhaps you're putting too much stock on one particular outcome in terms of your sparring. Grapple Kings happened last weekend too, we have a little chat about that as well as me attempting to predict 20 people i think are going to medal this weekend at ADCC Ireland. @andrewmcgahon on Instagram if you

On Sunday the 25th of August myself and Jean Luca Maltese hosted a training day for higher belts and those competing in the NoGi Europeans. We had a great turn out and a great days training. On this episode, I go over some of the elements we thought were most important and our reasons for wanting to host these type of training sessions, as well as the benefit and experience I've had from training this way. I also look at the one glaring example that's been staring us in the face since 1997, about
