Lessons from Law Enforcement for Performance Under Pressure
Tools and Strategies to Manage Stress, Anxiety, and Fear
Welcome
Background
When developing people aimed at achieving peak performance, a premium of time, commitment, and money are focused on two sides of the performance triangle: skills development and skills application. These are the visible outcomes associated with human performance and can be gauged by skills mastery and task completion.
Mental preparedness is the third element of the triangle and is associated with poise and confidence when performing under pressure. All too often, this element is overlooked or glossed over as teaching resolve and measuring its success are difficult to do. Oversimplified, performers are commonly taught mental preparedness and competing are parallels, which they are not.
As a result, despite all the preparation and practice of a sport or craft, many individuals are left with a lack of focus, sharp performance and, ultimately, fall short of desired peak results due to factors like stress, anxiety, and fear.
Further, without constructive boundaries and an understanding of leadership principles centered on small team cohesion and development, performers risk redefining understanding of elements such as team, squad, or unit that pits members against one another.
At Clear Edge Performance, participants learn tools and strategies long proven effective in law enforcement that provides context, structure, and understanding of performance under fire in any stressful situation. Across history, police professionals have been revered for running in the direction of danger to help others, at tremendous risk to life and safety. To succeed in such a highly stressful situation, the mental methodologies and concepts need to be simple, straightforward, and designed to be readily performed under duress. This simplicity makes lessons learned from law enforcement highly transferable across nearly any human performance arena, from sports to any place of business.
Beginning today, let go of insecurities and uncertainties centered on body responses to pressure when performing. Learn lessons from law enforcement and introduce controls for stress, anxiety, and fear to open doors to new possibilities. Strive to make your impossible possible and compete to be your very best.
