When it comes to training - the amount of time you spend preparing specifically to get TO and THROUGH the training matters. Jeff Nichols - https://www.performancefirstus.com and Stew Smith http://www.stewsmithfitness.com discuss the process of making a timeline but it largely is more of a performance starting line than a timeline.

Stew and Jeff discuss a great question we received:

Could there be something physiological making BUD/S more doable for some than others? Maybe a certain ratio of slow twitch to fast twitch muscle fibers? Or is it really 10% physical 90% mental? What does that even mean? If it is mental, what mental training does one need to make the physical happen. I appreciate your time, sir, and I look forward to your reply.
