"Is it possible stress isn't the enemy?"

We’ve all been told to “avoid stress,” “manage stress,” “eliminate pressure.”

But what if that advice has been wrong all along?

From Navy SEALs to Olympic champions and even astronauts floating blind in space.

The best of the best aren’t avoiding stress, They’re:

Training for it.

Practice tactical breathing to think clearer under pressure.

Visualize worst-case scenarios in vivid detail so they’re ready when reality hits.

Lower expectations and raise the baseline, so every day becomes a win.

And most importantly, they reframe stress as a challenge, not a threat.

At Zooey Aerospace, we operate in an industry where stress is baked into every AOG, every 3 a.m. call, and every aircraft on ground with no ETA in sight.

That’s why we adopt the same mental tools.

We train to perform under pressure.

We set floor standards, not fairy tales.

We face hard truths with quiet confidence, because that’s how customer support wins.

I recently read this extraordinary article, and it stopped me in my tracks.

The lessons are not just for athletes and soldiers.

They’re for anyone operating in the trenches of aviation support.
