Own Your Fear: Capitalizing on "Near-Life" Experiences

By: Jason Winkle
I believe in training. The better part of my professional career has focused on training people how to deal with stressful and dangerous situations. I have witnessed first hand the potential that humans have to successfully perform under such conditions. My years of experience have also illuminated the limitations of conventional training. If we are to continue to develop our training methodologies we must address areas of deficiency.
The tendency to accept the profession's training inertia as law must be fought. I remember consulting with groups ten years ago who were shocked that I suggested using a training suit to allow contact-driven force-on-force scenarios. Today, thanks to many open-minded trainers and police departments, training suits are a staple in most tactics courses.
