STS COVID-19 Webinar Programme

To help members during this time of lock down, STS is putting on a programme of online webinars on areas of interest expressed by members through our education survey. To keep sessions accessible they are completely free, are normally only an hour long and run in the early evening so members still working can access them.

This Session

  • Webinar: A Shooting Mindset - Shooting Psychology for Athletes & Coaches

  • Date: 9th June 2020

  • Time: 6pm

About This Session

There is no question that shooting requires mental fitness as well as physical fitness to be successful. Over the years, Simon Petrie has worked with a number of world class shooters and is one of the top sports psychologists with a specialist expertise of getting the best out of shooters.

This online session is aimed at all discipline and will be suitable for both athletes wanting to learn how to improve their mental strength, as well as coaches wanting to know more about using psychology as part of their coaching toolbox.

It is not often we can open up the entire membership to someone of Simon’s calibre so we plan to use the session to give you a glimpse into some of the exercises and processes he uses with athletes, as well as tapping into his experiences to answer your questions.
