Show 28 w/ Jeff Banman

On this show, we talk extensively about human performance and the “load on the system”,
which can come in many forms;

• Mental
• Physical
• Emotional

We discuss how we use them as gateways to expand capabilities and observe more accurate behaviors under stress, and also how sandbag training in particular is perfectly suited for that.

Jeff Banman is a recognized leader in the area of human performance and human behavior in high-stress environments. With over 30 years of experience across multiple domains including;

• Fire Service
• US Army Special Operations Command
• Central Intelligence Agency

Jeff now serves as the COO & Chief Human Performance Officer for a Global Fitness Brand.

Jeff has examined, researched and validated what separates success from failure by understanding why we do, what we do, when we do it.

How is fitness and intense activity a gateway to developing higher levels of mental and emotional resilience?...
... on this episode of the Prep and Defend Show, our Guest Jeff Banman has answers to that and much more ...
