A lot of us have heard it our whole lives: “You have to be tough to get through vet/tech school.” “I don’t know how you handle seeing sick pets/get by on so little sleep/make hard decisions all day – you must be so tough.” And yet... how many times have you finished a shift, maybe even sat in your car in your driveway after work, feeling anything but tough?
This week, Steve Magness, athlete, performance coach, and author of the new book Do Hard Things: Why We Get Resilience Wrong and the Surprising Science of Real Toughness, takes his years of coaching experience and resilience research and applies it (for the very first time!) to veterinary medicine. Steve talks about why a sense of control makes us more resilient, why you can’t fake your way through the big stuff, and why having our basic psychological needs met is an essential ingredient for toughness.
