RECORD TRAINING
It’s hard enough to remember last week’s training, let alone last month’s sessions.
Use a record sheet within your Diary – you won’t regret keeping tabs on your hard work.
Use as is, or adapt.
WHAT TO RECORD
This is interesting – some shooters record many details and other simply put down scores. I am not a fan of the latter as scores do not tell the story, they are outcomes. For example, if you are fighting the end of a cold, and still feel lethargic, but still training – document this as it shows you later how you coped when you’re not at 100% and we all know that there will important competitions regardless of whether you are peak form!
EXPERIMENTATION
All shooters need to try varying elements as they improve – document this, and the outcomes.
If you have tried a particular element “X”, and then three months later another coach suggests trying “X” you can simply refer to your training record and demonstrate the success or otherwise of your previous work.
Enjoy the challenge
