Nutrition and exercise is very simplified here. Nutrition focuses on carbohydrate as the main energy source in the body which is hotly debated. But the mental fitness section of this book, while also simplified, covers this topic better than anything else I have read on the topic for tactical athletes. I would recommend this book to any “recruit” or “boot” that doesn’t have the luxury of a coach early in their career.

Excellent book on training tactical athletes. As one, there are not enough programs/information on training and maintaining readiness. The "do or die" mentality can not be applied to every training session because it would defeat the purpose.
