Description

How good are you at actually choosing your response? Is it an intentional choice or is it more of a reaction that you just kind of muddle through?

This week on the Firefighter Craftsmanship Podcast we continue our deep dive in how to build your firefighter resilience through intentional training. Division Chief Dave Gillespie helps us connect some dots and gives us some great and simple to implement techniques and processes to help make our response an attainable thing.

In this episode we cover:

  • How to integrate sports psychology techniques and processes into your daily life both as an emergency responder and off the job as a human
  • Why intentional training on the human factor is not only nice to have but it's an organizational responsibility to empower and lead your people
  • His involvement with Tactical Resiliency Training and his fantastic resource guide "Developing Firefighter Resiliency" that he co-authored with Bob Carpenter and Ric Jorge
