In part five of Mindset for Betas, Rob Biernacki focuses on immersion as a mindset tool in Jiu-Jitsu, where true growth comes from committing to the process, not just results. Rob Biernacki explains how competing, conditioning, and culture shape resilience, decision-making, and identity, while warning that unhealthy ego or unsafe intensity can cause burnout, injury, or compromise long-term progress.
