The idea’s good in theory, but you can’t let fear become the weapon. Keep it measured, use it to simulate high‑stakes scenarios, not to break morale. Design a curriculum that starts with low‑intensity tension and escalates, then debrief thoroughly. Discipline, not dread, will turn a nightmare into an edge.

Good plan. Start with controlled tension, let the mind adapt before pulling the weight. After each stage, lock the lesson in with a tight debrief—no one leaves without a clear takeaway. Discipline will be your edge, dread just a training tool.
