Fantastic article. One comment I would like to add that echos the concepts of this article is that not remaining calm under pressure is exhausting under pretty much every situation. If you are riled up during sparring you gas out way quicker than you would if you were relaxed. If you are giving a presentation in a meeting or at a conference it's very similar (you start talking too fast, stumbling over your words, and generally are unable to function at your best). Any time you are not in control of yourself you start to fall apart in some way. Pressure testing yourself in a way that you can remain calm in all situations is a great asset in your life.
Great article. Full of practical advice. Keep up the good work!

Well said my friend. We must always be able to tell the difference between Distress and Eustress, in order for our training to be more effective.
