The Mental Game of Academy Success- The " I'm Behind" Trap

In this episode, I talk about one of the most universal feelings for students at the Academy: the feeling that they are behind. It happens at some point for almost every student who has ever gone through the Academy. It doesn't matter which option you are going through or how much experience you may have, at some point you will feel behind.Remember: Slow is Smooth. Smooth is fast. - Navy SealsFast is Slow. Slow is Smooth. Smooth is Fast. - Air Traffic ControllersEveryone will feel behind, the worst thing you can do is to try to speed up.Trust your processes. Trust your steps. Trust the work you have put in.When you feel behind, focus on 1 aircraft, 1 step, 1 action. Keep working 1 thing at a time until you are out of things to do.Thank you all for listening!FOR HELP:To set up a FREE call: sidebysideatc.com/scheduler/free-consultPre-AcademyIf you are heading to the Academy in the next few months, I put together a structured 90-day preparation blueprint that walks you through exactly what to focus on each month before you go.
