Book Reviews of Sharpening the Warriors Edge: The Psychology & Science of Training
Book Review: Buy it and study the stress response cycles
Summary: 5 Stars
Scientific physical research to understand stress phase cycle and at what point to recognize and understand the sequence to keep your training or more important, during real world stress scenarios- recognize to control the cycle and keep you in an open mind thinking loop vs closed mind tunnel vision overload / primal.
This can mean the the difference in failure or success in split second decision making during critical moments where it all boils down to a second or two that you will triumph / fail. Understanding the cycle and what happens during is a great arrow in the quiver to use for training events or more important real world. Because, nothing real world ever happens exactly like in a controlled training environment. There are always variables that can work for or against you depending on your specific situation encountered. Knowing the boundary's of the cycle and recognizing where you are at in that phase to tune up or slow down is up to you for what you are trying to accomplish. Recognizing other people's signs of stress level cycle is important as well.
The book covers other subjects, but the simple diagramming and explanations of the stress phase cycle explained and examples covered in success and failure is a grim reminder of how some events in life boil down to mental preparation.
If you are tactical military or law enforcement, buy it. It is not supposed to be some fictional fantasy novel to keep you glued to every page. It should not be read at one sitting. This is a slow read book to think of training and scenario development stress inducement for what type of work you are involved in- PMC- PSD, Law Enforcement- SWAT, Police Officer, Highway Patrol, Military- Tactical. This book won't give you magical powers in a critical moment or replace good solid training. It is an educational book. How you incorporate it's education and lessons is up to you. Recognizing, Orientating, is half the battle in toward Executing or generating a more solid foundation of knowledge toward Executing.
