you have to be very careful with praise oh yeah because in the example that I give in the corner of MMA fighters if you tell a guy hey good job you know your will you won that last round keep just keep doing what you’re doing he’s going to back off yeah he’s going to back off and guess what the other corners telling them you lost that round you need to step it up you need to get aggressive and that’s what they’re going to do they’re going to get out there because I’ll tell you most people in an MMA fight MMA fight is a it’s like wrestling it’s a very intense cardio activity you’re good everybody’s going to be tired because just about everybody me obviously so when you get two guys well let me let me rephrase that when you get two guys that are evenly matched and are going at it hard they’re both going to be tired and so they’re going to want a little bit of a rest so if you give them that opportunity to back off the throttle just a little bit subconsciously they’re going to do it because they think they’re doing good they think that won that last round so you can see that all the time you see I mean it happened it happened with Ronda you know they’re saying hey good job good job you’re looking good and she’s getting crushed that’s kind of a bad example but anyway that you got to be careful that in in I’ve told this story before but when my tasking was going through training and we were doing CQC so close quarters combat drills we’re going to the kill house over and over and you know we broke for lunch or something we come back from lunch and the guy does the cadre they’re like hey you guys are kicking ass this is great keep it up you guys are the best cast you two we’ve seen out here guys crushing it and literally the next run guys go in the house they screw everything up they’ve missed targets just a disaster and I talked to the Contra I’m like don’t ever tell my guys again that’s are the best guys in the world don’t don’t tell them that you can tell them good job but don’t be telling them they’re the best people in the world just doesn’t work and so that’s kind of what happened you know here now the thing is this doesn’t mean that you can never give anybody credit or never give anyone praise because you absolutely have to do that but what you have to do you have proactively can owner act the mental lapse and intensity that’s about to take place because you just complement so how do you do that so let’s say you’re on the lacrosse field or the soccer field you bring the boys and you say look guys good half good first half you took it to them you showed them that we can hang with them you played them even that’s fine here’s the problem even isn’t good enough we need to get out there and play harder we need to step it up I actually want you guys to play like murderers that’s what I want to do I want you to win every loose ball I want you to make every tackle I want you to get your head on every ball that’s in the air you stick to them on defense I don’t even want them to be able to breathe I want you to work them into the ground I want pressure pressure up front pressure in the midfield and pressure on D you make them fight for every inch every ball and every breath I want you to go out there and take their souls so you got a camera head you know you gotta count as a good job thing so in MMA it’s the same thing you know hey good round there’s a closed round but a good round but listen you can’t let up right now you need to step it up he knows he has to step it up I’m telling you he knows he’s got to step it up and if you come out weak he’s gonna get the upper hand right away you need to put him away you go out there and crush him crush his soul turn it on and put this guy away I want you to kill him so that’s what you need to do with that now for tactical training same thing because you know I know this police officers and SWAT teams and keep in guys that are in the military you’re doing tactical training all the time and you’re going to see that as the team comes together they’re going to start to do good but like I said if you give them too much they’re gonna slack right so you know when you’re running your tactical training you for your guys you say look hey guys I see some good progress out there we’re making some good runs let me say it’s not good enough right right now okay this is the deal the enemy can rely on luck we can’t we rely on our training we train to be prepared for anything that the enemy throws at us so we’re going to work as hard as we can and be as perfect as we can so we are ready for the worst-case scenario so get jacked up for another run right now and I want you to go in there like a band of bloodthirsty Viking shock troops on a dam berserker rage and crush this so you want to bring that kind of counters right and then in combat again I just was talking to some guys yesterday and it’s the same thing like complacency is the worst thing that can happen with your team when you’re in the combat scenario so over your combat you know it’s look hey guys we’re running some good operations right we got the upper hand and that’s good but it’s not good enough we cannot be complacent and we can’t take our foot off the enemy’s throat we are going to be relentless we are not going to give him the chance to regroup he will not get the chance to recover there will be no downtime for the enemy and I’ll tell you what I don’t even want the enemy to have a chance to bury their dead we are not going to stop until there is nothing left to pursue and no one left to bury so sharpen up your knives load up your magazines because we got work to do so again we got a counter you know the compliments and balance essentially what I’m doing in each one of those you know situations I’m balancing the positive affirmations of what is happening with some new goals and new objectives that will ensure that there will be no slack no hi oh yeah
