In this episode, I break down the five most common reasons candidates fail SFAS selection and what you can do to avoid making the same mistakes. We cover fitness preparation, land navigation, team week, mental fortitude, and attention to detail—five areas that repeatedly separate selected candidates from those who get dropped.
