Sheepdog Tip of the Day, During Combat tip 32
Whatever skill you require under stress must be rehearsed ahead of time. For example, if you are going to dial 9-1-1 on a cell phone, you must remember to hit "send" at the end. You know that now when you are calm and collected, but what about when your heart is racing at 220 beats per minute (bpm)? Rehearse it now a few times so that it is there for you when you need it. Be sure the phone is turned off first.
