Most athletes agree that much of what they do is mental. Anyone who has experienced competition in any sport, realizes that the mental game is a big part of success or failure. In fact, some top athletes will tell you that 90% of their sport is mental. Even so, many of us spend all the time we have on improving our techniques. Never addressing the mental challenges at all. For must, the reason for this is lack of knowledge. While we all agree mental control in shooting is important, many do not know how to address this topic.
The "Technical & Mental" course covers these issues. The course includes several advanced technical topics, not covered in "Technical 101". But the main focus and time is on the mental aspect of out sport - and how you can make this work for you, to improve the probability of you having a great mental performance, under stress, on demand. This is what we all aim to achieve: Top performance when it really counts - in the big matches.
This is a one day course of approximately 8 hours, 9am to 6pm with an hour break for lunch, and shorter breaks as needed. Each student will require 250 rounds of ammo.
The topics covered in this course are:
- Safety rules
- Barricades
- Kneeling and prone positions
- Shooting on the move
- Strong hand shooting
- Weak hand shooting
- Required accuracy: what you NEED to see
* Mental management: The Conscious skills, the Subconscious skills and the self image
* Managing match stress: The mental and physical connection
The topics are explained, then practiced both with dry fire and live fire, with individual instruction and supervision. Each student gets feedback on his techniques, and suggestions on what and how he can improve. Practice drills are taught for each element, as well as more complex stages which combine these skills. Groups are limited to 10 students to ensure individual attention and practice time. Some hours of the course are spent in a comfortable lecture room, rather than in the range, as we discuss the mental topics and applications.
