Short-Term Memory Confuses the Brain
If you are thinking, you are in your short-term memory and confusing the brain. The more you can chunk the circuits, the more it allows you to shoot without thinking. This also allows the brain to know exactly what circuit you are asking it to use...
Having a Growth Mindset
Shooters with a growth mindset don’t care about failing. They actually look forward to learning from all their failures and always look forward to training and getting better. The person with a growth mindset will never worry about being seen as good or smart, nor will...
