The Mental Game of Academy Success- The " I'm Behind" Trap

The Side by Side ATC Podcast by Tom Hanes

Episode notes

In this episode, I talk about one of the most universal feelings for students at the Academy: the feeling that they are behind. It happens at some point for almost every student who has ever gone through the Academy. It doesn't matter which option you are going through or how much experience you may have, at some point you will feel behind.

Remember: Slow is Smooth. Smooth is fast. - Navy Seals

Fast is Slow. Slow is Smooth. Smooth is Fast. - Air Traffic Controllers

Everyone will feel behind, the worst thing you can do is to try to speed up.

Trust your processes. Trust your steps. Trust the work you have put in.

When you feel behind, focus on 1 aircraft, 1 step, 1 action. Keep working 1 thing at a time until you are out of things to do.

Thank you all for listen ...
