Getting to know a U.S. Navy SEAL

Imagine this with me:

Imagine attacking installations, persons, gathering information, all that in hostile territory, thousands of kilometers away from home.

Imagine surviving off the land while being hunted by hundred of enemy soldiers.

Imagine doing things like diving(not the cosy i-learned-it-during-two-days-at-the-holiday-resort-kind of diving), skydiving, climbing mountains in the most aweful of conditions, combat shooting, marching with backpacks up to 60kg, things a normal person would consider crazy and maybe(!) a once-a-lifetime-adventure.

Imagine being shot several times with you guts literally hanging out of your belly(just remeber the last minor injury or even major injury and how much it hurt...how much you were still able to do...) and still being able to move, shoot and, most importantly, still able to think and take care of the man next to you.

Imagine all that.


The truth is: you can´t. Do not worry, I can neither.
Why?
Well...Such intensities, such energetic situation have to be felt.
One has to dive into such situations and still has to be able to act.


When goverments choose people for such requisitions they have to be very careful. Who will stand even a chance? Who will crack too soon? Who will never quit? Who can keep making decisions when all odds are against him?


Who can deal with a situation in which there are two options: succeed or get killed/torured/...


To me, matter is only a supplement, an expression of the mind. And those warriors are the top of the food chain when we are talking about mental toughness, mental capeability.

I have a tremendous opportunity I can share with you, to get into the mind of a former U.S. Navy SEAL, ask questions and learn and he has agreed to publish his answers on my Blog.

How do these guys train, how they keep a physical and mental edge for missions impossible to imagine for 99% of the population...
What has he learned from years in the teams, trial and error (only without room for error).
Who has he been before he entered the teams, how it changed him and what he took with him?
What are the key elements in his mental game which allowed him to keep going during the most intense selection process known in the military?


All this we will try to find out.

I hope you are looking forward to this as much as I do!

Train hard and enjoy life!
All the best,
Harry
