In the context of SEAL teams, there are also "legacy candidates", individuals with family connections—such as fathers or brothers—who are more likely to attempt and complete training. While having such a background might provide psychological advantages or added motivation, it's not a guarantee of success. Many candidates from prestigious backgrounds still fail, underscoring that resilience isn't solely inherited but also cultivated.
Interestingly, some speculate that the pressure of passing down a family legacy might motivate candidates to push harder or endure more. The personal motivation to avoid disappointing loved ones can serve as a powerful incentive—sometimes more so than innate ability.
