Excellent interview. The guy has the same characteristics as most top competitors. He had a constant fire from a young age to show them all that he can compete, he was determined, and he knew that the mind has to be controlled in order to stay calm under pressure and perform. It's interesting when you see all TOP competitors in all sports and all fields presenting more or less similar traits in mindset.

For some reasons my brain is reminding me that Wolf is a BJJ black belt.

This was great. The conversation had a good flow to it and wasn't as esoterical as some of the BJJ related episodes.
