Dr. Seth Haselhuhn breaks down why mental performance for tactical professionals isn't the same as sport psychology—and why "tactical athlete" is a misleading term.

Seth is a mental performance coach working with special operations and tactical professionals. In this conversation, we cover:

• Why there are no metrics for combat (and what that means for training)
• The difference between sport IQ and tactical IQ
• What actually happens after the gunfight—the conversations most people don't have
• How to carry weight you can't put down
• Why clear goals + feedback beats motivation every time
• Domain-specific mental skills vs generic mental toughness

Seth's been working with the SOF community for over 10 years. He's a PhD in sport pedagogy with a background that spans strength & conditioning, college baseball coaching, and tactical psychology.

Key quote: "Guys in special operations have already demonstrated better mental toughness than most people. They don't need rah-rah motivation—they need specific skills for specific problems."
