I think learning some stuff on the mental side from a Seal could be very helpful.
I agree, sir. Navy Seals possess mental toughness for sure.
I attended and successfully completed Marine Corps boot camp,
but that in no way compares (well, maybe in some aspects) to Navy Seal training.
However, to translate that over to sport isn't direct.
You can't teach someone to be "mentally into something."
There is a certain amount of discipline one has to have to in order to that.
My whole take with the mental side of
anything is that one has to make it a process.
Being in the moment is nothing more than letting it happen, or in other words,
letting the subconscious mind take over—"being in the zone" at times is the result.
My whole beef with the "how to do this" when it comes to the mental aspect of sport
is that the teachers make it more than what it is.
They tend to "dress it up" as if it is some hidden jewel,
when it is nothing more than gaining knowledge through practice,
learning the associated muscle memory, and then allowing the mind to take over.
The last part is the toughest, but attainable.
Those that can achieve the last step reach that zone.
