THE SHOCK OF CAPTURE

At the start of commando training you undergo some of the biggest habit changes over the space of 2/4 weeks.

You learn how to walk in an organised group (marching) you learn how to look after yourself in a military sense(administration) and you also learn quickly the mindset of an aspiring commando.

How do they get this mindset change across so quickly?

The shock of capture!

You are taken away from your relatively comfortable civilian lives and put into a large room and treated as one cohesive unit. If you mess up the whole troop messes up and is punished.

Does it work?

YES!

I recently ran a team building event with Southampton FC and we used these same tactics to bring them together over the space of 24 hours.

Did we meet resistance?

YES!!

Did they become a cohesive team?

YES!!

WHY?

Because no one wants to be the one letting the team down and getting them more press ups or burpees.

Now can this mindset change work for you?

Yes, all you need is structured habits and guidance from a professional like me.
