In addition, Dr. Gerson is the Director of Mental Skills at Mission 6 Zero, a tribe of performance experts that merge Special Operations Forces veterans with Behavioural Science Practitioners /Researchers — blending the work of the practitioner with the academic.
With this wide and varied background, Michael Gerson adds his perspectives to support the understanding of the mental toughness concept and its application to all walks of life.
In part 2 he carries on with the theme of evidence-based practice.
As a Mental Skills Director for Mission 6 Zero, he believes strongly in a scientific practitioner model, using science and research to direct and guide his work.
He is a practitioner of the 4Cs model because of the wealth of evidence behind the concept and measure, finding it valuable to link this to a variety of models and concepts to gain the best outcomes for his work.
