This is the Jocko Underground podcast number 205, sitting here with Echo Charles. We have questions from the field, and we will pro- provide, to the best of our ability, answers in some cases, recommendations in other cases, and at a minimum, some courses of action that you can take to move forward on the path.

Well said. [laughs] First quest. [laughs] First question is, "Okay. Good evening, Jocko and Echo Charles. I'm a high school senior preparing to matriculate at Virginia at, um, Virginia Military Institute in August. I'm an avid CrossFit ath- athlete, and my school ... at my school, and would like to start BJJ. I was wondering what advice you would have regarding time management in a high-stress environment, and how to get into a I won't quit mindset."

Okay. So, you know, you're ... What you wanna do is you wanna get into, involved in some basic stress inoculation, and what that means, you have to do some stressful things to inoculate yourself. Sounds like you're doing some of them, right? Doing some CrossFit, those are some psycho hard workouts. They're gonna put some stress on you. Uh, Brazilian jujitsu definitely can put some stress on you and get you, if you compete in Brazilian jujitsu, to overcome some, some stress there.

I don't know what actual sports you did, um, like wrestling or football or basketball or tennis or rowing or cross-country, whatever, track, something like so that you get stress in those situations.
