Welcome back to Iron Sights After Dark! In this episode, JP and I discuss how stress can be implemented into learning and training experiences to prepare individuals for success in a real-life, worst-case scenario. We’ve all seen those action scenes with the car chases, quick draws and heroic fireman carries… Is there a superior approach to achieving that level of preparedness? From training under the limits of a timer to striving for success with the added weight of peer pressure, JP and I systematically review when, why and how to elevate performance using stressful stimuli. The human body and mind are designed to quickly adapt to imposed demands– but how can that pressure be applied in a way that optimizes our proficiency, accuracy and speed? We conclude the episode with some thoughts on coaching “feedback” culture and how we can utilize our limitations as tools for growth.
