Mental Skills For Firefighters

I aim to design and implement Mental Skills Training (MST) for Australian firefighters to improve their performance and decision making under pressure. Evidence-based techniques, such as arousal and focus control, visualisation, and self-talk are widely used in military and elite sport to lessen the negative impact of pressure on human performance. These skills are not taught to Australian firefighters resulting in a skills gap. 

This series of podcasts will aim to introduce the mental skills that could be used to better prepare firefighters for the unique pressures of their job.
