My Story:
"As I struggled through the most intense pain of my life, with less than 5 hours sleep in the last 5 days, I realised that it was now my mind over my physical ability. A 10 year dream, 5 years of physical preparation and a lifetime of mental conditioning were coming together to shape my performance.
This was it, my one and only chance to pass the most gruelling military Special Forces selection course in the world.
Here I was, approaching 30 years old,
in the best physical condition in my life and it was my mental toughness
that was going to decide my fate, not the physical endurance I had worked
so
hard for.
After almost 20 years service, mostly in Special Forces, I have identified some of the secrets that drive the elite performers in the world. After learning what drove myself
to achieve goals that others told me were impossible, I started studying other successful people including elite athletes, world leaders and business professionals.
What I learnt was that each of these successful people possessed a mental edge over their competitors or challengers.
What was this edge? I call it...
MENTAL TOUGHNESS
