Spend More Time Simulating the Real Game
In “Be A Player,” Lynn Marriott and Pia Nilsson cite another study about trying to do the same thing over and over again: “'The nervous system was designed to be flexible, not to do the same thing over and over,’ Churchland explained when the study was...
Vicki’s California Adventure!
I took a long ten-day trip to California, and what I learned is fabulous. I was solo on this trip going to two places I’d never been before. My first stop was in Sonoma at the Wing and Barrel Ranch. This was the first time OSP...
California and Balance
On my way to a new adventure, going to California, alone, to a new club. It’s my time to spread my wings and fly — literally fly to Sacramento, then on to Sonoma to the Wing and Barrel Club for three days of teaching. Then I’m...

Enhancing Awareness
To me, seeing the movie and my confidence in the movie gives me great awareness and confidence. Shooters who are watching the Clay Kill Shot ShotKam videos in Knowledge Vault are shooting better scores with less practice! Watch the Clay Kill Shot Reviews on singles or...
Hope is Not a Plan
Wow, what a great weekend clinic I had at our home field! Gil and Brian were in freezing Iowa teaching the SCTP coaches and athletes in the snow while I took the clinic in 80-degree Houston. I got lucky this time! I still had some folks looking...
Advance School Week One: Lots of “A-has” and “Wows!”
We had a great first week of Advance School. There were lots of “a-has” and we gave everyone some things to work on to improve their shooting. We had several “move, mount, shoot” people for the first time who were amazed at how much easier the...
