Former Navy SEAL sniper instructor Brandon Webb spent years teaching trainees how to control their breathing, quiet negative thoughts and stay calm under pressure.

“If I say to a trainee who’s learning how to use a high-power rifle, ‘You’re flinching,’ that puts it in his head,” Webb told The Independent. “You can’t point out mistakes, especially in front of other people, because then it just spreads, infecting everyone like a virus — setting them up for failure.”
