Sheepdog Tip of the Day, Before Combat tip 43

[Prev] [Next]

An important part of what we achieve through stress inoculation is cognitive. The student's experience in training helps to take some of the surprise out it when the real situation arises. Effective training also elevates the student's sense of confidence, which is another cognitive aspect of stress inoculation. The sense of personal effectiveness and self-confidence created by realistic training is as much a stress reducer as when the muscles go on autopilot. As the Duke of Wellington put it, "No man fears to do that which he knows he does well."

Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, On Combat
