In the field of performance psychology, you're getting at a lot of internal stuff in the workings of the mind. We have acquired some biofeedback equipment that kind of starts to help us and get after it. One of the things we got is their eye tracking glasses that will put on a student or an instructor. And then we see where their eyes are looking, film,. and what they're looking at and record it.

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.
