30 Day Mental and Physical Training System. Develop the winning the
mindset of a Navy SEAL.
www.sgptonline.com 1
Welcome to SEAL Grinder PT’s 30 Day Mental Training Program. The purpose of this program
is to train your mind much like you train your body. This training will hone your skills, allow you
to focus and not be distracted. Drill down on the task, overcome and become a sheepdog in a
world of sheep. We want to give you the mental edge. As a bonus we have added a daily dose
of motivation and a intense 30 day workout program with rucking, running, sandbag drills and
grinder PT.
This training method is simple, it’s not complex and easily completed… You just need to commit
to the training and not walk away.
1. Follow the rules as they are stated. Do not deviate from the plan.
2. Do not make excuses or procrastinate.
3. 1 step at a time. 1% better each day. Never QUIT!
SGPT 30 Day Mental Training Program is designed to break bad habits. It’s designed to hone
your skills. It will help you improve in many areas.
Lack of organization of simple things make your brain scattered and causes chaos. A Navy
SEAL needs to be organized. They need their gear to be in working order, ready at a moments
notice and ready to go. That being said take a look around your work area, or your bedroom or
your garage… Is is nicely organized or is it a complete disaster. Know we understand life, kids
family and are realistic about things, we aren’t talking OCD levels of organization but very basic
levels.
Phase 1: Get organized. Take time and set yourself up for success. This is the foundation of this
program. Organize your bedroom, you work area etc. You will be happy you did.
Once complete you are ready to move on. Maintaining this level of organization will be part of
the training.
Phase 2: Let's plan your morning and evening routine. These are two very important bookends.
How you start and finish your day is paramount to the overall success you have. Lack of sleep,
oversleeping, lack of motivation to start your day are all goal killers…

5:30 AM Wake Up without an abrupt alarm, no need to wake up to a fire drill and set your fight
or flight senses into overdrive. Ideally your goal will be to wake up at 5:30 unassisted. Do NOT
hit snooze… This is the 1st step for failure. 5:30 AM get up and get a fresh glass of water 12 -
16 ozs. (of course use the restroom if needed)
1st Step: Make your bed. Clean up your any clothes and make your bedroom ship shape.
2nd Step: Drink a nice fresh glass of water. Find a nice quiet area and spend 5 minutes focusing
on your breath. A nice 4 count breathing pattern is all that is needed. We suggest the
Pranayama Breathing App it’s free and a great tool to help you focus on your breath.
Now it’s time to get your day going. Some of you will find this a great time to get your workout in.
We suggest you pair this training with the workouts included or our 90 Day Strength and
Conditioning program. Click Here.
For others it’s a good time to eat a well balanced breakfast. This isn’t a nutrition course so we
won’t go into detail about what to eat. Your goals may be different. But the key here is to get
your day going with solid fuel. Coffee is good as well but skip all the extras like sugar or dairy.
8 hours sleep is IDEAL! 7 hours is good. 6 hours is fair. 5 hours or less is not sufficient. Start
your bedtime routine 1 hour before you plan on going to sleep. In this time you need to
accomplish the following:
1. Lay in bed looking at social media, news, or pointless articles. In fact we suggest you
charge your phone in another room.
2. Watch TV or sleep with a TV On.
3. Drink Alcohol, Eat Junk Food or any Food.
1. Shut down your house. Your home is your castle. Check your doors, your windows etc,
Security system if used. Garage door is shut. No water running.
www.sgptonline.com 3
2. Journal your day: a real quick recap of victories achieved.
3. Get a 30,000 foot mental view of the next 24 hours and take notes.
4. Drink a 12 ounce glass of water.
5. Read for 15 - 20 Min
6. 5 Minutes of mindful breath.
1. Your house should be somewhat organized and the foundation for success is built.
2. You should have a draft of a morning routine written out.
3 You should have a draft of a nighttime routine written out.
As the 30 day plan evolves so will your routines. You will slowly adapt to this plan, modify it and
customize it to make it your own.
3 Phase Recap:
How do you eat an elephant? 1 bite at a time. How do you conquer a SEAL Grinder PT training
plan? 1 Day at a time. How is this best done? With positive self motivation. A calendar and a
sharpie. It’s that simple.
Buy a Calendar, put it on a wall. Write Start on the first day. Cross out days as you complete
them.
We all know the drill, you find a new hobby, you buy a new book, you start a new project. Once
the fun or novelty wears off it’s no longer engaging. Commitment is lost and you move on. This
is not the pathway to completing great things.
Most people abandon a challenge because they set unrealistic expectations for themselves.
500# deadlift in 30 Days, Lose 40 Pounds in 30 Days… Complete a 50 hour Navy SEAL
inspired Training Camp without training. When you set unrealistic expectations for yourself you
are not setting yourself up for success. 1 Day at a Time! Want a 500# deadlift but you are at
200#? That is not a realistic goal. Pick 250# with 8 weeks to reach it. Put in the work and in 8
Weeks test yourself.

Picking your goal. You have 30 Days of training to reach this goal. So choose it wisely. Once
you have thought through your realistic goal. Write it down here:

The definition of mental toughness is not agreed on by all, but it does have many common elements.
Specifically, it means to be more consistent and better than your opponents and remaining determined,
focused, confident, resilient, and in control under pressure.
Want to know the #1 difference between the rest of the world and an athlete that graduates BUD/S? It
is not completely their athletic gifts. It is their mental toughness that is the difference. When the game is
on the line all of these athletes seem to rise above the norm and perform at an extraordinary level.
Mental toughness is their secret. Check out these tips to condition your mental muscle and improve
your game like a champion.
Focus on the Present. It is hard for us to focus on the present. With so much chaos going on around us it
is easy to see how we could forget our own names. Cell phones, texting, traffic, earthquakes, terrorist
attacks, and crime in your neighborhood. You name it – there is crazy stuff happening all around us in
our day-to-day lives. It is tough to stay centered and focused. So how can we stay focused? By only
focusing on taking the next step. Then take the next step and the next. Do not think about what is going
to happen in 20 minutes. Or what happened in your past. Only focus on the present and taking that next
step (or next golf putt or next free throw or next hand off with the football).
Have a Short Memory. The number one job of a quarterback is not to pass the ball – it is to protect the
ball. So what happens when a quarterback fumbles the ball in a big game like the Super Bowl, and the
opposing team goes up by 6 points? A great quarterback who has made a mistake needs to have a short
memory. He needs to learn from the mistake and forget the past and move on. A great quarterback like
Peyton Manning or Tom Brady will not dwell on the past mistake or let it shadow them. They move on.
You must do the same. Learn to let go and move on quickly so that you can achieve your goal.
Become a Ritual-aholic. Everyone has a ritual. We get up in the morning on the same side of the bed and
brush our teeth. We get a cup of coffee and read the news on our iPad or newspaper. We go to the gym
and work out and then go to work. We all have a ritual. Some rituals are good – some are bad. Top
championship athletes also have rituals. Michael Jordan used to go to the basketball court every day and
shoot a thousand free throws. Tiger Woods putts for hours and hits thousands of golf balls. Herschel
Walker does a thousand push-ups every morning. They all have a ritual that is conditioning them to be
tougher than the average athlete. Yes, there is athleticism involved in shooting a thousand free throws,
but Michael’s mind has made him perform this task daily to condition himself for future success.
Stay Positive. It is easy to become negative when a tough situation arises. If left to our own devices our
brains will seek the easy way out, and sometimes that means flight – instead of fight. A warrior who has
command of their mind will take control of the situation. Mentally practicing the ability to drive out the
negative and reinforce with the positive is an acquired skill. You can work on it every day with tough
physical workouts or being exposed to arduous conditions (swimming in cold water, running in heat).
But the best method is to control your thoughts. It takes 21 days to form a habit so start now and write
down all negative thoughts you have in the day. On the next day begin to get rid of those negative
thoughts and one by one replace them with positive ones. This is a great start to a new mindset.
Visualize your Future Self. That's right — get a mental picture of how you want to be in your future self.
In order to get through this current tough workout or hardship you have to not only survive – but thrive.
www.sgptonline.com 38
Think of your future self and how it will feel to stand on the podium with a medal draped around your
neck. Think about the cool breeze blowing against your skin as you hear the crowd cheering in the
background. Use details to create a positively-charged emotion that your mind will connect with.
It has been said that if you’re going through Hell, don’t stop. Keep on driving through the tough stuff,
and use this clear mental picture of what you will be and what you will look like at the finish. Very
powerful stuff.
Mental visualization is key. Before the Championship game, athletes like Michael Jordan rehearse the
winning shot, playing it over and over in their minds as they practice and shoot baskets. Michael Jordan
pictures himself cutting down the basket from the winning game. Tiger Woods sees himself putting on
the green jacket at The Masters. What do you visualize that you will put in your mind to help carry you
across the rough and bumpy road?
Hang Around Winners. If you want to get great at basketball, do you go down to the local playground
and go for a pickup game with some first graders? Or do you go downtown to the courts where the big
boys hang out, and jump in the game? Do you head to the gym on a Friday afternoon or do you head out
to the local bar for Miller Time with Joe and the boys? To get better, you have to work out with and
hang around those who are at or above a level you want to be at. To get mentally tough you have to do
the same. Get in an environment where only the tough survive and you will see your mental
conditioning rise after the first day. Metal sharpens metal. So get tough by getting next to those athletes
who are at the next level.
Repeating Affirmations. Mental affirmations are a great method. Repeating words in your mind to help
you focus on a task is an excellent way to cast off the extra chaos. It is harder for negative thoughts to
enter your mind while you are chanting “I am a winner,” or, “I’m an overcomer”. Come up with a few
affirmations. Write them down and use them when you’re out on your next 5k run or weight workout.
You will be surprised how well they keep you on track, focused and keeping negative thoughts in the far
back of your mind.
Reading Good Books. You can create discipline by reading every night. Reading a good book is a form of
ritual but it also helps to put great things into your mind. Most people go to sleep watching all of the
violence and no good on the evening news at 11. Try reading 10 pages of a good book every night.
Reading every night will build consistency and ritual in your life. It will also help to build mental muscle
www.sgptonline.com 39
that you can use in your next tough workout. Here are a couple of great books I recommend you
definitely learn from.
Calm Yourself. Have you noticed that the top champions are calm during the toughest of situations?
They have learned to calm themselves through conditioning, to be ready for the unexpected. Yoga and
meditation are excellent methods to calm your mind and body. Stretching and long distance running are
also great exercises. The key is to find the method that works for you and begin to incorporate that
activity into your weekly routine (remember ritual?). For me, it is trail running, so I make sure to add this
into my weekly schedule to help me cruise at a higher level and to remain tough when the situation
