After 15 years of preparing individuals for SOF selection programs, we have seen many mistakes and their consequences. This podcast covers the most common mistakes we've made and sees trainees make before they start working with us. In this episode, we won't discuss training specifics, like sets and reps. While those things matter, they are far less important than a robust strategy.While we cover the consequences of a poor application of each strategy, we also provide principles you can use to have a more effective mental model of the training process. Even if you're not preparing for a SOF pipeline, the principles discussed in this podcast apply broadly to many areas of life.
