Ones Ready Ep 236: Dr. Brittany Loney and Mental Preparation for Selection
Meet Dr. Brittany Loney, the mastermind behind the Elite Cognition and Human Optimization (ECHO) program at Core One. As a skilled professional with over 12 years of experience training Special Operations Forces (SOF) personnel, Brittany was the first cognitive performance coach embedded within the USASOC Tactical Human Optimization and Rapid Rehabilitation (THOR3) Program. Since then, she has been dedicated to developing and implementing cognitive training programs across SOF, the U.S. national security community, and government sectors. Brittany frequently advises DoD and other U.S. government personnel on how to effectively incorporate cognitive performance principles into training and career pipelines.
Brittany has an impressive educational background, including a Ph.D. in Educational Psychology and Learning Systems from Florida State University, an M.A. in Kinesiology with an emphasis on Performance Psychology from California State University, Fresno, an M.S. in Exercise Science from Florida State University, and a B.S. in Criminal Justice from Texas State University, where she also played NCAA Division 1 basketball. Her passion for her profession extends beyond the workplace as she enjoys exercising, ultra-running, hiking, paddle boarding, and researching neuroscience, performance, and cognition.
This episode lays the groundwork for everything you need to start mentally preparing yourself for your journey ahead, and some really helpful tools to help you in the moment. Make sure to check out the ECHO program at www.elite-cognition.com and thank you to Dr. Loney for sitting down and sharing her considerable knowledge and experience.
