Introduction to Mindset development
Your guide to understanding and developing thought processes that lead to success!
Congratulations on choosing to enter the Warrior Challenge programs. You should be
commended, first off, for actually choosing your future, but just seeing your vision isn’t enough
to get you to the finish line. It will be difficult, probably much more difficult than you assume.
However, you can get there. This workbook is designed to help get you there.
The main intent for providing this workbook is actually two fold:
1) To continually make you mentally re-engage and answer “why” you are choosing these
programs.
2) To show you that you can control your future if you choose too by utilizing some of the basic
fundamentals that directly affect success.
It’s easy to say, “I want to be an EOD technician, a Navy SEAL or even a Doctor” that takes no
effort. It’s different when you enter training and realize the work that will be required to attain
your vision. We want you to choose your future. We want you to have the things in life you
want, but we also want you to understand that none of it comes without sacrifice, without work
or without commitment. Anything worth having is worth working for so before you choose
what you want, decide to commit to finishing what you start!
If you choose these programs, bring 100% to training everyday. If you have chosen these
programs (after a thorough assessment), don’t question why you chose them later. Choosing a
different job/rate during the work process is the wrong time to make a choice. This is where
mindset training comes in.

SELF ASSESSMENT:
For a man to conquer himself is the first and noblest of all victories. – PLATO
Self-Assessment allows for reflection on your overall view of who you are as a person. It forces
you to think about you as an individual and ask yourself who do you want to be? Are you
currently that person? If not, what is missing? What can you add to meet your expectations?
When assessing, break things down into a few categories; too many can be overwhelming. Each
category is associated with many subcategories. It is up to you to determine how deep you
want to go. Ultimately, the deeper you go, the better you will know yourself.
WHO AM I?
Habitually: Living habits, grooming habits, smoker….
Mentally: How do you handle stress, Cognitive exertion (under stress).
Physically: Exercise, appetite, handicaps?
Emotionally: balanced, driven, needy, empathetic…
Spiritually: Philosophical, religious…
Family: Do you see yourself as a good/bad:
o Brother/sister
o Mother/Father
o Son/Daughter
Publically or Socially: Do you volunteer? Youth development? What do you do to give back?
Who Am I?

WHY ARE YOU HERE?
If you make a visit to the ER, it’s generally because you need medical attention. It’s doubtful
that you will drop into an ER for a social visit. So, your “Why” to visit the ER is in search of
medical attention. You probably wouldn’t go to the ER looking for a loaf of bread.
You are here seeking something that cannot be found elsewhere, just like going to the ER. You
wouldn’t go to the grocery store looking for someone to sew up a lacerated foot would you? If
you are in contact with a NSW Warrior Challenge Mentor, you have come to the right place.
But, do you know why you are here? Tell me why.

Identifying why you are here is paramount for your success. We want every student to succeed,
but at some point success is found within. It starts with your understanding of “why” you are
here. If you don’t remember why, you won’t succeed after starting your endeavor when faced
with adversity. Half of all college students will drop out of college. Why? No one starts Harvard
and says “I’m going to Harvard for six months and then I’m going to drop out” do they? Yet,
half will quit. It’s not because they don’t want to graduate, it’s not because they don’t want a
great career, its because they forgot why they started when the work began.
Remembering why you came here is very important. Write it down now while your mind is clear
and you are thinking logical. No one starts SEAL training, SWCC training or EOD training
wanting to DOR (Drop on Request), yet many forget why they started training and end up
dropping out. Always remember your why!

*Remember your mind clarity when writing down why you are here. Your choice is rational and
thought out or you wouldn’t have come. You may spend the next 6 months working to get a
chance to do what you want to do so it’s important that we are able to recall your “WHY” when
times are tough. Don’t question yourself if you have decided to move forward and become a
Warrior Challenge candidate, Don’t question yourself tomorrow, next week, next month or next
year. Don’t question your decision at all, those questions have been answered before you
received your contract haven’t they?
**You will be asked why you are here. Your reply should be thought out, researched and
content. You should have answered all of your “why” questions already.
After determining that you want to be here, don’t look back! Don’t question why you are here;
don’t question why you chose to be here. If you cannot commit to your future in these programs
at that level, you should seek other career paths.

SELF- ASSESSMENT (WHAT DOES YOUR FUTURE LOOK LIKE)
Where do you see yourself in the future? Med students expect to work in a hospital with
patients, those that want to be firefighters expect to ride on fire trucks and fight fires, what do
you want to be? Where do you see yourself? If you cannot see it, you won’t be it. You have to
have a vision in order to achieve it. What’s waiting for you at the top of the mountain? If
nothing is there, don’t waste your time climbing. Every vision will require some level of work
and sacrifice (climbing), you cannot make it to the top without climbing. Where do you want to
be when you reach the top? (where do you see yourself in the future?)

WELCOME TO THE MINDSET
Mindset training is the other part of the equation in preparation for the NSW/NSO/AIRR
program that you have chosen. Historically, physical training has been the main focus of all
NSW Warrior Challenge programs simply due to 4 mile timed runs, long swims and pull-up’s.
Our physical preparatory programs work to get students through the physical test gates, but
those aren’t the things that will keep you around during difficult times. Times when you are
tired and don’t want to run, times when you are cold and times when you would like to just sit
and relax. During these times, you will need mental toughness to keep the momentum moving
forward.
Mindset training is nothing more than looking at the variables that go into your decision making
process (all promote mental toughness). The following outlines the many variables that you
must master to become successful.
MENTAL TOUGHNESS
What is meant when someone says mentally tough? We have heard it described in various
ways, some programs have courses that last a few days explaining the variables that make a
person mentally tough, but if it takes that many courses to get the point across, there will be a
lot lost in the mix.
To best explain Mental Toughness, one needs to comprehend that:
1) The mind controls the body.
2) You control the mind.
Actively engaging (cognitively) to determine the outcomes is vastly different than sitting back
and waiting to see what the outcome will be. Engaging mentally to drive your body in the
direction needed is the concept of mental toughness -controlling the mind so that the mind can
Warrior Challenge Candidate Workbook
11 | Developed for ACADEMI use, S-E-L mindset development programs
control the body. The body will become tired after continual engagement; however, when other
variables such as identifying the why, willingness to work, commitment….come into play, each
add to the cognitive engagement of the mind again controlling the body. This cycle will repeat
until you stop controlling the mind. This repeated cycle is how students in Navy SEAL training
make it through hell week. The body is pushed far beyond discomfort. It becomes tired, weak
and inflamed. However, trainees never lose sight of why they are in training. They don’t expect
it to be easy, they don’t want it to be given to them. That’s the mental approach to hell week,
this approach allows them to direct the body through training.
How do you define Mental Toughness ?

A,B or C STUDENT.
There are only three types of students in any learning environment. The three types are:
A = those that know why they are there.
B = those that aren’t sure why they are there.
C = those that don’t think they should be there.
“A” students, those that know why they are there, have completed an assessment before
arriving to training. It is understood why they are there (be it to put out fires or see patients).
They realize that in order to make it to the top of the mountain they must climb. They are here
(training) to do just that. They want to climb, they will make it to the top!
“B” students, those that aren’t sure why they are there, lack the ability to commit. These may
be strong students, but they don’t see themselves as equal (physically or mentally). They are
struggling with who they are and what they want to be simply because they lack confidence and
or other aspects of selfworth.
“C” students, those that don’t think they should be there, are masters of excuses. They will quit
no matter what. They may not say “I quit”, but there will always be a reason why they cannot
make the times, cannot complete the training or cannot finish what they start. They want to be
on top of the mountain, they just don’t like to climb.
What type of student do you think you are, A B or C? Why did you make that choice?
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
If there was hesitation, you are a B or C student. If you spent time determining why you are
doing what you are doing, you are a B or C student. As stated “A” students are fully
Warrior Challenge Candidate Workbook
13 | Developed for ACADEMI use, S-E-L mindset development programs
committed! “A” students won’t quit no matter what. This workbook is designed to help you
become an “A” student, to help you choose to commit.
Take another look at the program of your choice. What is it that you like about the program?
Don’t think about the training today, don’t think about the training tomorrow, think about what
you perceive to be doing in the field of your choice (fighting fires or seeing patients)? When you
think about that, how bad do you want to do it? How much are you willing to climb to get
there? Are you one that starts college and quits after the second term paper? Are you one that
looks for outs when it becomes difficult? These jobs require an “A” student, one that won’t quit
regardless of difficulty.
Choose to be an “A” student in whatever endeavor you pursue. Climb when you see what you
want. Commit to giving it everything you’ve got (A-student) and don’t falter when it becomes
difficult (writing term papers or standing in the surf zone). Anything worth having is worth
working for, there’s no such thing as a free lunch. It’s yours for the taking but you must be
willing to commit with “A” mentality. If you don’t see yourself committing at that level, you
should choose another position. Only choose when you are willing to give it the worth of an “A”
student.
Think about your past. Think about something you started and reflect on the type of student
you were: A, B or C. Did you show up to class giving it full effort, or did you show up feeling like
you were wasting your time? If you played a sport, did you give it 100% regardless of if you
thought you were the best or not. Did you hit hard regardless of whether you were the smallest
student physically or did you mentally reconcile and allow yourself to do less because of your
size/speed.
These programs require complete commitment and 100% effort. Your size is irrelevant. Your
speed is irrelevant. Our programs will get you to the speed we need you at, but it cannot make
you believe in you. It cannot make you understand that you can complete anything that you set
out too as long as you are willing to work for it. You have to understand that inside, you have to
own that. *If you haven’t seen the movie RUDY, it is recommended that you watch it! This
movie illustrates these concepts.

**Explain to staff the type of student that you are and why. If you ever show up to PT or other
events and are not willing to give it 100%, you should seek other career avenues. Warrior
Challenge candidates are always expected to give 100%!
**If you ever miss a PST or a PT event, please contact your Warrior Challenge mentor before the
event. It’s understandable that at times we may not be feeling our best and if this is the case
don’t show up! But if you do, be prepared to work. If you are excessively late or absent from
your events, your contract may be at risk for termination. Always communicate with your
mentor!

DECISIONS IN THE VOID
Failure most often occurs in the VOID. The VOID is that space that exists between when you
start what’s important to you until you get to where you want to be. It’s the failure zone.
Failure is the result of an emotional response that is made in the VOID. For example: Quitting
college because of writing term papers, paying $200 for books, missing home…Or, quitting SEAL
training because of the cold water, long runs and lack of sleep. All of these responses fit within
the VOID and are part of the component that separates success from failure: WORK.
When pressures from work in the VOID push against a “B” or “C” student, an emotional
response is created and pushes the student out early such as those that drop out of college (they
all have legitimate reasons for leaving) and those that drop out of SEAL training (the water was
cold, I didn’t want to do it anymore). It’s conceivable to believe that they all want to finish
college or complete SEAL training, but each must understand the WORK element required in the
VOID. The VOID always exists and any path to the top of the mountain takes students through
the VOID. It’s the place of emotional responses due to work, commitment and sacrifice.
Decisions should NEVER be made in the VOID! Why? Because they are always emotional based.
When work becomes hard, the natural tendency is to choose the easy path and run the other
direction. That place that leads to immediate satisfaction. Yet, when those arrive at that place
what do they say?????
I SHOULDN’T HAVE QUIT!

See the vision, commit to it fully (“A” student), don’t decide to quit when you enter the VOID
(when work begins). You will make it to the top, but you must climb. There’s no such thing as a
free lunch.
Explain a scenario that indicates your understanding of making a decision in the VOID.

SELF-LEADERSHIP (4-C’s)
Failure is a by-product of taking chances, moving forward or elevating levels of risk to succeed.
In order to succeed at your endeavors, some level of risk will always be required, however, from
failure comes choice. That choice is of course based on whether or not you want to succeed and
whether or not you lead yourself toward your vision in life.
Self leadership suggests the 4 main elements of internal guidance. That is, concepts that you
should use for forward momentum. The 4 elements are:
Commitment:
Courage:
Confidence:
Can-do Attitude:
Commitment: Whatever vision you choose, always commit to it. Don’t quit half way there,
don’t quit one week into the hard work that is required to attain it. It’s your vision, if you see it
you can be it.
Courage: Have the courage to raise the bar higher than those around you. Don’t follow in the
steps of those before you simply because it is easier, carve your own path.
Confidence: Confidence isn’t something that you can borrow from a friend, buy or stumble upon.
Confidence is something that you choose to have or by default, end up with what you end up
with. Be confident in your abilities, you are worthy of whatever vision you seek. Be confident in
who you are, you are special. If you weren’t, you wouldn’t have been given life!
Can-do Attitude: Attitude is the only thing left to control when you enter the VOID. The other
three, commitment, courage and confidence have already been solidified (you are already fully
committed, you have exhibited courage, and are confident in yourself). Choosing to have a
Warrior Challenge Candidate Workbook
18 | Developed for ACADEMI use, S-E-L mindset development programs
positive attitude takes the same energy as choosing to have a bad attitude (by default). A
positive attitude can help increase mental morale while a negative attitude will create weakness
in your level of commitment. Choose to have a positive attitude!
Explain your 4 C’s toward the program you have chosen.

FOLLOW THROUGH
Follow through in the most simple of terms means till the end or until completion. Notice that
follow through never suggests stopping, delaying or making excuses to change to something
else. Follow through never concludes with DOR (Drop on Request) or I change my mind now
(this usually occurs during the work process where it is convenient to want to change). Those are
simply reasons not to follow through. But, lets evaluate reasons to follow through-
1) You have assessed what is important to you (identified your why with active mindset).
2) You have determined the type of student you will be (you chose to be an “A” student).
3) You have vowed not to make an emotion decision to quit (decisions in the VOID).
4) You have decided to focus on the four c’s of Self-Leadership (Commitment, Courage,
Confidence, Can-do Attitude.)
5) You have the willingness to climb and understand that there is no free lunch.
6) Repeat
Notice that number 6 is repeat. This suggests that anything you start you will finish. Only then
will you move to the next vision. Quitting can become habitual if not controlled. If one quits
during work or sacrifice on their way to achieving their vision, odds are that they will quit next
time it gets hard as well (run to instant satisfaction). Removing the follow through (to finish)
can ultimately lead to becoming a habitual quitter. Always follow through when starting the
journey to achieving a vision.
How will you follow through?

Follow through is critical to succeeding. Your follow through will be two fold:
1) Complete the physical training blocks that your mentor has given you. Avoid off the shelf or
other training programs offered by former NSW personnel not affiliated with your Warrior
Challenge Training Team. Regular physical training should be reflected in progressive PST
scores. Those that lack a progressive PST probably suffer from lack of commitment/work. If
your PST scores aren’t progressively getting better, you should re-assess what you want and re-
evaluate your level of commitment towards achieving it.
2) Each session (determined by your mentor) you will discuss one element of this workbook. You
will explain your why, where you want to be, your plan to get there, self-leadership, type of
student you are….It will be different each week/month and if asked, you should have the
answers to every aspect of your workbook.
Do Not take the importance of the role that mental training plays in your success lightly. Each
of these programs ares difficult in their own way physically; however, they will be equally
mentally hard. Focus on the physical training as required and stay committed mentally.
Like failing PST scores or students not showing up for the PST, if you show a lack of commitment,
lack of understanding why you chose these programs or do not bring 100% to training sessions,
your contract will be at risk of being taken away.

CONCLUSION:
Success at any endeavor requires an understanding of what it is that you want, why you want it
and what your willing to do to get it. Our Warrior Challenge programs are voluntary programs
and every student that has the courage, is willing to commit and chooses to have confidence in
themselves stands a great chance of succeeding at the chosen program. But, the attitude that
will be needed must be kept in check and a continual re-enforcement of the WHY must be
Understood in the DEP program.
If you waiver during DEP, you will waiver at bootcamp.
If your not sure in DEP, you won’t be sure in bootcamp.
Be Sure! If you choose a program, that’s active cognitive engagement (you put some thought
into it). Follow through until the end (don’t make decisions in the VOID). Don’t look back when
you get on the bus on your way to Navy Boot Camp. Don’t look over your shoulder and second
guess yourself! Know what you are doing and understand your why!
The world is your buffet - you can have anything you want, but if you put it on your plate, finish
it!
Why are you here?
Where do you want to be?
What does your future look like?
What are you willing to do to make it real?
What type of student are you?
Do you know what mental toughness is?

The training plan is just an overview of your training each week. Detailed information about
each training day can be captured in a journal or on the back of each sheet of the workbook.
Keep track of your training (swam1000 yds. CSS, treaded water with fins for 3 minutes, ran 3
miles @ 8:00 pace…)
Complete the training plan each day.
Add additional swimming/ running distance as needed.
PT includes stretching, situps, pullups, pushups……
All runs and swims should include a warm up and cool down.
Use other resources provided by NSW W/C mentor such as SEALSWCC.com
If in doubt, contact your Warrior Challenge mentor.
