One of the unique points Eliot makes is that trying to 'relax' will only hurt performance -- our bodies are hardwired to perform under stress and if we're feeling stressed that's just our natural reaction, our bodies are keying up to perform. By that measure advice towards relaxation and de-stressing as a way to improve performance probably has the opposite effect.

I like his training vs. trusting distinction. Does Dr. Eliot discuss the role fear (of failure, of success, of the unknown, of the past) plays in any of this?
