In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discuss:

• The reason PSA2 is set up the way it is – as a bridge between PSA1 and PSA3

• How to earn and lose points during the scenarios (including 5 extra points during PSA2)

• Train & master the art of neutrality to avoid negative anticipation or losing focus.
• Prepare for various decoy scenarios and distraction scenarios – be creative as nearly anything goes in PSA3.
• PSA2 is all about recalls, anticipation, and impulse control
