Facing Challenges in Soft Selection Courses
Soft selection courses in Special Operations use physical, mental, and emotional stress to filter individuals. Candidates endure intense physical activities like running, swimming, and burpees to assess their resilience. Handling the daily hardships involves focusing on immediate tasks, like finishing a set of pushups, to maintain mental resilience. Anticipation of stressors, active coping, and maintaining an internal locus of control are crucial for success in such demanding environments.
