Arousal is good!
Stay Tuned:
In part 2 we cover a lot of very important topics again: the stress respons, management of the stress respons, cognitive intervention strategies, the role of vision in stress regulation, scan and breath, cognitive control, when-then thinking, the skills of elite performers according to Vickers, the secret of expert surgeons/pilots/officers and a lot more!
