A coach should be aware of the athlete\u2019s mental and emotional state. Ignoring signs of stress, anxiety, or fear can harm their performance. Be empathetic and offer support to help the athlete manage their emotions effectively. Even if everything was covered in the last training session, there is now anxiety going through the body and asking questions usually comes from seeking support and extra security. Politely and warmly answer them as many times as needed. Instead of commenting (or even rolling your eyes), ask if they need something, and, in this way, show them that you\u2019re there. You can also be the one that initiates conversation and tells them about the times and their next moves of preparation; suggest deep breaths or visualizing their shot process. This will help them to calm down and turn their attention to shooting.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1e0ac97 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1e0ac97\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.aimingart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/ziva-in-polona-qacwwm371lbad5tevwyod0k54fsue3yizrqkewtodm.jpg\" title=\"ziva in polona\" alt=\"On the right, athlete \u017diva Dvor\u0161ak, Slovenia, in a discussion with her coach Polona Sladi\u010d.

However, introducing new techniques or major changes in the athlete\u2019s routine seconds before a competition will only confuse them and increase their insecurity about their current readiness. Instead, ask the athlete what they focused on in the last few training sessions and pick two or three things to continue working on during the competition. Pointing out the hard work and effort put into practice sessions can instil a sense of readiness and assurance in the athlete. In this way, you will also both clearly state your expectations; they will be about the shooter\u2019s skills and not outside the domain of the uncontrollable. This will focus on their progress and not on the long road that is still ahead of them, which can invoke feelings of failure.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-550cdc8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"550cdc8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.aimingart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/Sonja-in-Jaka-qadntrklm40cza2hpu4u7gbikiz0rdfcwmnbnjuoya.jpg\" title=\"Sonja in Jaka\" alt=\"Jaka Umek, an SH2 para athlete being coached by Sonja Ben\u010dina.

Even if you have more shooters getting ready at the same time, make sure to approach each one individually and make it about them. Commenting openly about scores, other shooters, and outcome expectations or giving negative criticism should be avoided at all costs. Instead of demoralizing, ask them about their game plan and how they will react if things start going south. Being familiar with the plan will keep the athlete focused and enable them to make quick decisions during the competition. This, in turn, will help them to recover faster and thus prevent things from going from bad to worse. Do not dwell on the negatives, however; ensure that the shooters know that they have a solid strategy, which will help reduce pre-competition jitters.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f5975d5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f5975d5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.aimingart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/Ziva-coach-scaled-qab67pppg3sdz037lcwmjjaxsnrqou8415mc3b5g20.jpg\" title=\"Ziva coach\" alt=\"\u017diva Dvor\u0161ak coaching a junior shooter; they are engaged in a coach communication, smiling.\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/372;\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f2ba154 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f2ba154\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><span lang=\"EN-GB\">#4: Be Concrete<\/span><\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2f1ee85 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2f1ee85\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Statements such as \u201cJust have fun\u201d or \u201cJust like in practice\u201d are too vague and too general.

Even if we hit a bad shot, we\u2019ll recover faster and continue better if we imagine ourselves standing tall with a focused look on our face and continuing with the mission of working on our shot process. The athlete\u2019s performance starts long before they are called to the line. Instead of slouching over their phones, make them stand tall, breathe deeply, and bring focus to their performance.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e055072 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e055072\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.aimingart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/Strelska-akademija-2022-qab63wh9qakivxmjupl3fhxn2ek5h13auadg0wsxds.jpg\" title=\"Strelska akademija 2022\" alt=\"Shooting Academy 2022: a group of youngsters with their Shooting Notes and their three coaches\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/384;\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c46d32f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c46d32f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Good communication between a coach and an athlete is the cornerstone of success. The harsh truth is that in most countries, shooting is not one of the most supported and funded sports. Most of the work, both by shooters and coaches, is voluntary, so the little time that they can devote is put towards actual shooting. There is not enough time for additional activities and approaches to help shooters progress. In the above example, the coach was also a shooter who had to prepare herself for the match, not just her juniors. She probably unknowingly put her pre-competition stress on the younger shooters. I don\u2019t know how their match ended. I only remember that we waited until the last second for the coach to fire her last shot. Her face and body (still) showed many signs of tension for the last few minutes of shooting. None of these two roles are easy; I cannot imagine being in both at the same time. However, with a little awareness, we can at least act in a way that we don\u2019t inflict on others what we wouldn\u2019t want to be imposed onto us. By doing so, we can help to bring down the anxiety on both sides, act from a better place, and reinforce our best possible performance.<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Like everything else, communication also takes practice. Try working on it every day, during every practice with your shooters \u2013 get to know what calms them down and makes them focus. Don\u2019t pull out some last-minute psychological tricks moments before the match. Talk to them while you are driving to the competition, setting things up, eating lunch, and just be present. A coach who only shows up when it\u2019s time to carry the gear to the line, has already lost their athlete\u2019s trust.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
