Today's High Performance Human podcast guest is David DiFrancesco. David teaches average human beings to become Living Warriors by helping them to 'live fearfully’. By recognising that life is an inherent unknown, and knowing that we will feel uncomfortable at times, rather than avoiding feeling vulnerable we can develop the strength of resilience and a knowing confidence that we can handle what comes our way. David has learned this from Russian, Israeli, and US special forces soldiers who have the fitness and mindset of elite athletes. Thus, the lessons that he shares in this conversation can equally be applied in your life or in your pursuit of athletic goals. Topics covered include:

Why the most physically prepared soldiers often fail the special forces selection process

Fear - recognising that it exists and how to deal with the fear of failure and fear of success

Appreciating that sharing vulnerability builds resilience

Healing stories about yourself

Developing the ability to experience and live in the unknown

Learning to do what we are NOT good at

Dealing with change when it is forced upon us
