• Improve cognitive thinking skills under stress (physical stress, time constraints, discomfort, environmental factors, internal pressure, external pressure). Participants will become more aware of how various stressors affect them. They will recognize their strengths and weaknesses and prepare themselves to effectively work through stressful situations.
• Learn to slow situations, so that suitable decisions can be made rather than becoming overwhelmed with fear or panic.
• Improve situational awareness and memory through a variety of drills- this will lead to more effective reporting and communicating of important details that may be overlooked or lost due to stress.

Note: This class involves working under a great deal of physical and mental stress. Initially, everything will be done using dryfire with safe weapons. For the safety of the group during the live fire portion, students that cannot safely demonstrate their competency may be required to sit out, or to participate with a clear and safe gun.
