Most people assume the Reserve route into the Royal Marines is the "easier" path. But here's the truth nobody talks about...
In this episode Henry, Royal Marine Commando and one of the athletes I coached through his journey breaks down what it's actually like training and serving as a Reservist. We get into:
- What the Reserve pathway actually demands physically and mentally
- How training as a Reservist compares to the Regular route
- What it was like going through the coaching process with Tier 1, and how that shaped his preparation
- The mental battle of pursuing the Green Beret while balancing civilian life alongside it
Whether you're weighing up Reserves vs Regulars yourself, or just want to hear an honest account from someone who's lived it, this one's for you.
