Fall to your standards

People don't rise to the occasion. They sink to their standards and training. I've seen so many "tough" people fall apart at the slightest sign of something not going as planned. And even more people freeze as soon as there's a medical emergency.You don't need to train for every scenario, though. You just need to put yourself in difficult situations where you need to make decisions or regulate your emotions or nervous system during high stress events. These are just mental skills on the end. So get to work!
