Episode notes

Mr. Bob Jones is the program coordinator for human engagement and adaptive thinking, also known as HEAT. Dr. Rick Dietrich is a program coordinator for special operations, cognitive enhancement for performance or SOSEP. Both of these programs fall under our special warfare center and school human development directorate. We're going to talk about a growth mindset and what that means for a student in training.

Today we are joined by Dr. Rick Dietrich and Mr. Bob Jones of the U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School's Human Development Directorate (HDD). We open the discussion by talking about the Growth Mindset, challenges to performance and how SMs can work to self-improve. The Doctors mention how there will always be stress, but that the way forward for students is to seize what they can control (nutrition, PT, sleep etc) to help lay the mental groundwork for success. We also discuss how the SOCEP and HEAT programs assist our students in reaching their best performance throughout each of the Regimental Qualification Courses.
