DJNinja & Ice: T-Day Coaching Thread moved to Sunday - DONE

[DJNinja]

I am grateful for

A. Learning pick up at such a young age. Bring only 20 and learning from Bravo,DJ, Bay, and the rest of the Bravohood guys, fucking blows my mind. It has opened so many doors in my life and legs

Awesome! At only 20, you've got a lot of time to REALLY get good at this if you keep your mind at it

B. Bravo's solid coaching and Queue for helping me get startes with the coaching: Queue helped me get in contact and for that I'll always ne grateful. Bravo's first call he tells me that I need to learn a martial art. Fast forward a year and a half later, I am vice president of my Ju jitsu club on campus.
That has opened doors for me to study and learn from my Sensei all from one phone call.

Congratulations on becoming VP of your jiu jitsu club!

C. My scholarship to college. wont go into the details but basically have a full ride to my college. would not be able to afford the learning without it, grateful everyday to get such a high quality education at basically no cost.

I'd say "Lucky..." but I have a feeling it's because you've put in a lot of work (whether academically, socially, or athletically) to get where you are, so instead, I'll say, "Well done!"

Really great start to this thread DJ. Thanks!

You're welcome!

Hey guys- I seem to struggle with keeping my energy up at times. i see with a lot of guys that they are friendly with anyone and everyone. Personally saw this with my buddy during Thanksgiving he kept his energy up played with the kids and in the end fucked their mom after 7 hours of being friendly and high energy.. long story on top of this but regardless I could see it happening but at same time was like how does he do this for a few hours- I would be mentally exhausted.

I can get my energy up for an approach or for a couple hours but frankly when there is a football game on. I would rather everyone not talk to me and play with kids for a couple hours-- I don't think so...

So I am wondering what you guys do to keep your energy up?

For me it's about balance. I'm an introvert so I need that down time to recharge and then I get my energy up

Also being social with positive people brings my energy up - just like when I called you today

some people take energy from me and I've learned to cut it

I find that my energy can go down quicker when I feel like I'm not doing enough - laying around the house, not cleaning, not doing school work, not being productive


so I'm always wanted to do something. If I'm resting, I'm doing it consciously and planning what I'm doing next.

For me, the short answer: 5-hour energy shots

The long answer: I get like that too, especially if I'm coming off a really long night of approaches and nothing is clicking. Instead of being discouraged, I step outside for a breather, maybe find something light to eat (street tacos or similar fare near the bar/club, or "bar food" if the establishment is serving - sometimes it's simply that you're low on fuel and need a quick bite to fill the tank), and get into a conversation with someone simply to get into conversation to stay in state.

Or if it's at a club, I hit up the dancefloor to build up some energy again, especially if they're playing the music that I really like.

If I'm with some wings, I'll meet up with them, do a quick debrief to go over positives and to motivate each other back into state. (Now that you have Bay, this should be fun for you!)

I saw that suitcase of 5 hour energy shots!! LOL

like the idea of taking a breather as well and I like the debrief with wings

i have generally saw you in a positive high energy role every time I have seen you DJ, so I honestly thought this type of stuff didn't happen to you.

yeah! I am also an introvert. thinking I just need to remove myself from the situation for a second. everyone went outside for a bit and when they came back I was ready to go

Also being social with positive people brings my energy up - just like when I called you today

woot woot

some people take energy from me and I've learned to cut it

completely agree

I find that my energy can go down quicker when I feel like I'm not doing enough - laying around the house, not cleaning, not doing school work, not being productive

think this can be a bit of the problem- I didn't work out the past couple days and i think my energy was fucked because of it

so I'm always wanted to do something. If I'm resting, I'm doing it consciously and planning what I'm doing next.

like this. need to set out time throughout my day to rest myself or I keep getting shorter and shorter

Thanks DJ for asking the question and giving us the opportunity to do this.



I am fortunate to be able to lead the life that I do, have the family that I have, and have the brothers and friends that I do. These are the people that surround my life.


The skills and the mindset and perspective I have gained, the opportunities that I've had, it's been a good journey so far, and there's so much more to go.


A huge part of my life is being part of the Bravohood. I've said this before - this isn't just a forum for me. So being able to give back like this, I'm thankful for.

@ DJ

Thanks for the support I do have a question

This week I had 30 approaches

Only had 2 number closes.

I was experimenting this week and getting uncomfortable.

I reached a few sticking points.

The first is, I am using a situational opener to baby step me into being comfortable in Forever 21 or H&M or other stores where the kinda girls I want hang out.

But I dont really have a DHV to transition with out seeming like a try hard.

So the opener i use is " Hey quick question, I'm looking for a gift for my friend. Whats in season for girls right now in terms of tops and boots?"

Hb: blahblahblah sweaters

Me: Jokingly... Man, I wish I spoke girl, I speak five other languages but girl is so frustrating.

I am trying to give them that hook to bite onbut if they dont what would be a smother transition.

Second question my sets to number ratio this week wasn't that hot ... What should I do to get a better rate of closing ?

I applaud you for stepping outside of your comfort zone! A lot of guys don't have the balls to make 5 approaches, much less 30, so kudos to you for having the BALLS to do it.

Have you field-tested this routine stack extensively?

The more you field-test this routine stack, the more you'll start to see all of the many ways that girls can respond to it, and you'll naturally start to develop "countermeasures" to deal with these various responses. And since this DHV routine is congruent with you, it should be very easy for you to figure out ways to deal with girls' congruence tests regarding this routine.

Second question my sets to number ratio this week wasn't that hot ... What should I do to get a better rate of closing ?

If you're just trying out this routine stack in a new environment (like you said, you're experimenting), your closing ratio will naturally be down, but as you field-test and refine the stack more, the ratio will become a lot better. So keep at it, you're on the right track!

@ DJ

Thank you for the insight!

An answer to your first question, I've been testing it out the past two days extensively out of neccessity. I usually sarge at a bookstore but realized it didnt have enough targets for me.

So I walked over to the mall next door and this stack is what I feel most comfortable with.

Do you write down the countermeasures at home at the end of the night ?

Second Thank you, I'll just chalk up this number to experimenting.

Another sticking point I ran into a few weeks ago is two fold.

One I had the FR about the HB sucking me off stopping half way and she tell me she has a BF.

Do you ever become jaded/ weary of women after awhile ?

Second part, I went on two D2's a couple of weeks ago whereboth girls had my hands run all over their body.

One of them was massaging her neck upto her breasts but I didnt pull the trigger, same happend for the other girl. One is still warm and texting me, but the other stopped completely.

I am assuming that she stopped texting me, because I was too much of a pussy at the time to close..

Do you have any recommendations to easy my way into the kiss close, when I'm choking up on pulling the trigger lol?

Thanks again !

Chiming in

SD

One thing a natural buddy of mine did who was EPiC at night game was hat as soon as he was in a room with people, guys girls what fucking ever he was fist bumping guys, talking to everyone.

He was hilarious, and he had funny as shit stuff he would say... Not canned, but just hilarious lines from movies etc.

I think having a few one liners and sound bites goes a long way here

Next time you watch a funny movie grab a pen, write down a few of the gold lines and use them the next day

@Bay- definitely appreciate it- need to get that one liner book of insults that you have as well= gold

also will be doing movie thing. Really would like to stay in headspace of fun medium energy rather than way too calm.

leads me to think i need to be more self amusing and get more energy from entertaining myself as well
