    For the past 10 years, Craig Weller and Jonathan Pope have trained people for the toughest SOF selection courses in the world. They've trained candidates for courses in every branch of the U.S. military, as well as five other countries, including British SAS selection.

    Our clients have a 90% success rate which means 9 out 10 people make it through. (BUD/S and SFAS have drop-out rates ranging from 60-90%, FYI.)

    In Building the Elite, they give a detailed look at their SOF training system - from big-picture principles to practical exercises and programming guidelines.

    Great book with loads of information

    I am slowly working my way through this book and am currently about halfway through. I really appreciate the concepts introduced and discussed. While many are not applicable to me as a civilian, still interesting reading. If you follow their on-line strength and cardio training program, there is a clear connection between training concepts introduced in the book and applied in the program. I found this to be really helpful. Some of the concepts (being new) sometimes require slow reading / re-reading to grasp, but that is not unexpected. Overall, the first 50% of the book has been great and the BTE online training program has been even better!

    💯 the best book for SOF and life.

    You may think this is a book about SOF selection, how to train and the mentality it takes to get you there, but you’d be surprised at how so much of this book is about how to life a good life. It holds a special place on my bookshelf. I cannot recommend it enough no matter where you are in life.

    Gives your the approach to training

    Life changing! Provides basic information about how your body repsonds to training, including some light science. The book helps understand the impact training has on your body, mind and CNS. Also explains how to think your way through tough times. Excellent for anyone facing significant physical, stressful and overwhelming challenges. Clearly focused on SOF, but has relevance in 1st Response, wider military and extreme challenges such as 100+ utras, Adventure races etc.
