S3|E3: DAN KELLY (AUS 90kg) Structures to reach the Olympics and the UFC

The Judo Edit

To say that Daniel Kelly has an impressive fighting CV is an understatement. 4 Olympic Games as a judoka, 1 Olympic Games as a national coach, 1 Commonwealth Games for wrestling, appearances on The Ultimate Fighter, and live-streamed on pay-per-view television fighting in the UFC.

So how did he reach the heights of the sport of judo - and beyond?

He’ll tell you: Consistency, hard work and structure.

And here are the stories behind those principles.

Of competing at his first Olympics in front of a home crowd, to the programming structures which allowed him to self-coach to the Olympic Games. Of the family that instilled within him resilience, the intricacies of adapting judo into MMA, and the craziness of joining the UFC media circus. Plus hold on to the end to hear the origins of #dadsarmy.
