0:00.0	This is the Jocco Underground Podcast number 72 sitting here with EC Echo Charles,
0:05.0	Echo Charlie, and me, Jocco Willink. So thinking about military training and what is it that's
0:18.9	good about it and then I realized one of the things that's good about military training is the
0:24.9	same thing that's good about sports, same thing that can be good about school, same thing that
0:30.3	can be good about peer pressure in some cases, positive peer pressure, and that is you are forced
0:36.4	in some cases to do more than you would ever do on your own. So what makes me think about this,
0:44.0	you know, you think a 20 year old, 18 year old, a 22 year old human, they go in the military,
0:51.2	they are going to get pushed out of their comfort zone, they're going to do things and not only that,
0:56.0	they're going to be, they're going to like if they're overweight, they're going to lose weight.
1:00.5	If they're underweight, they're going to gain weight. If they're, I mean those physical aspects,
1:06.5	they're going to learn to pay attention to detail, they're going to have to. So they're going to have
1:12.5	to do these things. It's same thing with sports, right? You're doing two days in football. You're

1:33.7	Right? I can push myself to 70%. If I got my coach with me, my coach can push me to 90%. Now there
1:40.6	is another 10% that only you can get to. You know what I'm saying? Because you can fake your coach.
1:45.7	You'd be like, right? So there's like the champion trains, look, let's face it, the champion can
1:52.5	do all those things. Just get to 100% output. But a normal human, they can get to 70%. Their
2:01.7	coach can get them 90%. And then they can dig out another 4%. If they're a champion, they can
2:07.3	dig out all of it. But we're in the military. You're going to be doing that. You're going to be
2:12.0	giving 90% all the time. You're at two days. Look, that last sprint, you didn't give 100%.
2:19.2	You gave 92. But you at least gave 90% because your coach was there. Yalena, you had to.
