Simon Ward, The High Performance Human Podcast

How to deal with overwhelm and fear…in any situation * David DiFrancesco


Listen Later

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
