Sports Psychology with Chandler Lewis

How do you handle frustration when BJJ gets tough? 

In this episode of Inside the Wave, I had the honor of sitting down with Chandler Lewis, a Personal Trainer, Competitive Swim Coach, and Master’s graduate in Sports Psychology.

We discussed the mental side of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu—dealing with frustration, plateaus, and performance anxiety. Chandler broke down real strategies for managing pressure from teammates or family, preparing mentally before rolling, and staying focused when progress feels slow. His insights bridge the gap between sports psychology and life on the mats.

Chandler’s passion for mental performance extends beyond this episode—he’s actively helping athletes and student competitors build strong, resilient mindsets in and out of training.

If you’ve been thinking about getting stronger, faster, or just more consistent—this one’s worth a listen.
