The highly acclaimed SportExcel system is a revolutionary way to win, and it is changing the way clay-target shooters approach their game in North America and around the globe. With Bob Palmer's easy-to-read and easy-to-understand, step-by-step system, you learn to see the target as huge, to eliminate distractions and to stay totally focused. "Great shooters don't think - they just shoot in the Zone." No matter if you're a world-class shooter, a weekend enthusiast, a beginner, a coach or a parent, this book is your handbook to using your very powerful Zone to learn how to win.
“Committed to making high performance accessible to everyone, SportExcel’s Bob Palmer has distilled the “game of high performance” into practical, repeatable strategies that participants can immediately understand and apply to their "game" to build success in any area of life---sport, business or education.”
Bob Palmer, BEd, BES, is the founder and high-performance trainer of SportExcel Inc., with more than 30 years of experience developing athletes, coaches and industry leaders to become true high performers, across all areas of life. A 4th-degree black belt, former sensei, and competitive martial artist, Bob has personalized high-performance training so that the athlete or leader becomes the expert and can guide themselves (as well as their team) to a high performance in every type of game or business,
The author of five books on high-performance, Bob’s proven and trusted system ensures that athletes, coaches and leaders enter the Zone on demand and learn and apply the highest levels of skills in sport participation and business/sport leadership. He has helped leaders build a culture of the Zone in organizations such as the US Army Marksmanship Unit and Canada Snowboard. He has guided countless athletes to Olympic, international and national podium finishes, including a recent U.S. international clay-target selection match where all four gold medalists had previously trained with him.
Bob shares several methods to calm your mind and get in the zone, which has been a struggle for me when competing. I don't do well with books that try to implement meditation during sport because it's unrealistic to expect the type of atmosphere that requires that type of quiet mind. His methods take some practice at home in a quiet setting, but can be used at any point thereafter.
This isn't a book you read once, but instead something you use as a tool chest. Read it, highlight in it and make notes. You'll thank yourself later.
