For me, the sadness of this was compounded when he was written-off by the military and encouraged to leave the job that had brought him such meaning before he became so severely ill. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

Without the brotherhood and support network provided by the military way of life, Jason struggled to find a new identity and that struggle led him to that clifftop. As a motivational speaker, Jason motivates teams by highlighting topics such as leadership, teamwork, emotional resilience and working under pressure. If you show your team respect and listen to them then they’ll have respect for you, and it makes your life as a leader easier – you don’t have to scream and shout. During this period, Jason was part of a team of divers who found the lost treasure of Captain Kidd – one of the most prolific pirates of the 17th century – just off the coast of Madagascar.I listened to this on audio and it was really interesting to hear about how Foxy struggled with his mental health and came to terms with it after being in denial over it for so long. Raised on a 1980s council estate in Luton, teenage Foxy was leaning towards the wrong side of the tracks and recognised he needed to make some changes. I found the first half to be a slow read and at one point I seriously considered giving up and starting a new book.

That candid approach has helped forge his popularity, and he brings those experiences to Life At The Limit. Upon leaving the forces Jason moved into the corporate world, first working as a project manager and then in security and close protection, before taking his military experience into the film and TV industry.Ex-special forces soldier, star of TV’s SAS: Who Dares Wins, Inside The Real Narcos and author of The Number One Bestseller Battle Scars; Jason Fox will bring to the stage and on tour the remarkable story of his daring exploits in a distinguished career as an elite operator in the UK Special Forces (SBS). I was barely able to scratch the surface of the issue by the time my board was full and heavy in the water. Interesting insight into how resilient and flexible the special forces become through training and experience.

I hadn’t considered the drastic changes to my identity and day-to-day routines because I was scared to acknowledge them.

Er ist brutal echt, spart sich selbst nicht und hat Humor -nicht alles ist tragisch, es sind auch lustige Anekdoten. A brutally honest insight into the mental health struggles of a special forces soldier and how he overcame them.

Following the first season of SAS: Who Dares Wins, after I’d admitted my breakdown to a large TV audience, I was asked whether I was worried about the public perception of me. Not to mention the near 10 terrabites of footage and photography that needs to go to edit from this last few months. Jason Fox, often referred to by his nickname 'Foxy', [1] is a television personality, adventurer and a former UK Special Forces soldier and Royal Marine Commando. In this final episode of the series, Foxy talks to 'The Iceman' Wim Hof on how he has harnessed the power of the cold to overcome major barriers in life with the 'Wim Hof Method'.

There is an interesting tension between Foxy and the therapist whom he credits for playing a major role in his recovery. Unflinchingly honest, Battle Scars is a breathtaking account of Special Forces soldiering: a chronicle of operational bravery, and of superhuman courage on and off the battlefield.
