You don't rise to the occasion, you fall to your training

"You don't rise to the occasion, you fall to your training" I read that on a range sign, dismissed it, then had a real stressful moment and proved it completely true!

Funny how a sign you ignore ends up schooling you. Training really is your safety net under pressure

True story, stress doesn’t care about courage...it only tests how well your training sticks under fire.

I actually had that very sign taped to my safe for ages. It really paid off during a car accident I was in once...I reacted exactly how I'd trained, without even having to think about it. Muscle memory, man, it's a real thing.

I bought into that saying after messing up a reload during a class. When stress kicks in, it strips everything down to just the habits you’ve actually drilled.

You don't rise to the occasion, you fall to your training
