Book excerpt: This project focuses on the creation of the First Responder Interactive Resilience & Mental Strength Training (F.I.R.S.T) program; a mental training program influenced by the U.S Army’s Comprehensive Soldier and Family Fitness (CSF2) and Sapper-Athlete Warrior (SAW) programs (developed to help train soldiers to be more efficient in their personal and professional lives). The focus of F.I.R.S.T is to teach basic and advanced mental skills that will help encourage mental toughness and resiliency, in order to give first responders the proper tools to perform at their peak levels. This paper covers the methodology of the process behind creating the F.I.R.S.T program, and covers research topics revolving around mental toughness, motivation, goal setting, focus, emotions, communication, and resiliency.
