I started putting these ideas on paper when I started blogging in 2014. At that point I was working as the Director of the Human Performance Laboratory at the US Naval Academy. I was also serving as an exercise physiology consultant to the athletic department and working with lots of individual Midshipmen who were training for special programs (Airborne training, BUD/S, Infantry Skills Team, USMC TBS, ultra marathons, weight loss, powerlifting etc.). It was an ideal place to test lots of different programs and get feedback on effectiveness. I literally had hundreds of “test subjects” and was learning rapidly. I started blogging to capture that information, to put it somewhere that my Midshipmen could access it in the future, and to clarify my thoughts and ideas. This book is a way to organize that information into one resource. I am giving this book away at no cost with the hope that current and future tactical athletes find it useful. It is a way to honor the sacrifices they make every day. If you find this free e-book to be useful, please consider donating $5.00 to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation.
