The only professor I can think of who has written anything of possible value is Angela Duckworth from Penn who wrote the recent book "GRIT".
Interesting results from a self-scored test by cadets that correlated with first year washout/success at West Point.
First year cadet hazing is a different beast entirely from an SFAS assessment/selection or analog.
But intrigueing nonetheless. Even more so when you're left scratching your head thinking about the self-scoring reference bias.
Anecdotally, and only based on my local cohort, I'm always looking for patterns amongst childhood, family life, and parenting received from those who passed the test.
There's so many books out there about SOF.
I'd love to see a book written by a compelling story teller and a performance psychologist focused on the parenting of high performing SOF soldiers.
I don't think we'd find THE answer, but I think we might find some interesting correlation/causation.
