Derrick was a South Australian Police officer operating in the elite Special Tasks And Rescue (STAR) Group. Derrick’s team had been tasked to arrest a high-risk offender who fired 18 times in less than 5 seconds and hit Derrick 14 times. Derrick was then lying on the ground bleeding for 3 hours prior to his rescue. He defied all odds and amazed everyone when he was immediately psychologically cleared to go back to full duties with the elite STAR Group. Derrick had proactively prepared himself physically, mentally AND emotionally for the challenges he could expect as a result of the choices he had made. He took responsibility for his actions and for all possible consequences. This format has been developed into the model for Human Durability and forms the basis of the philosophies within the Australian Centre for Human Durability. This is an inspiring podcast, not to be missed."}
