The Australia Cup Conducted at the Werribee Clay Target Club was the second of the selection events to determine the World Championship team for 2005 and the Shadow Commonwealth Games Squad. Entry was restricted to those shooters who had won selection points at the ISSF National Championships in January. Each discipline contested two events, and points awarded to each shooter according to final placing and score plus placing in the high gun. The weather was typical Melbourne with 30 deg one day and 20 the next. The one thing that did stay consistent was the wind it pretty much blew the whole time, making high scoring difficult.

Coaches: Greg Chan, Kevin Perkins Administrator: Glenniss Lawrence Liaison Officer: Suzy Balogh Team: Brendon Burgess, Matt Rocco, Brent Cooper, Daniel Allam, Robert Smith, Emma Eagles, Kate Cassar, Melitta Northausen The Youth Olympics is conducted every two years in Sydney and is the Australian Olympic Committee's contribution to the development of youth in sport. 14 Olympic sports are contested and for the first time shooting was included in the program. The idea is to give young athletes the opportunity to experience a mini Olympics with all facets of the real thing. The athletes were all accommodated in a village with athletes from different sports, with meals in a common dining area, sharing all facilities and replicating what happens at the Olympics. The opening ceremony was quite spectacular with some 10,000 spectators and athletes treated to a lively 3 hour display of song Matt Rocco, Brendon Burgess, Brent Cooper and dance that was very much aimed at the young athletes (read very loud and noisy). The highlight for us was the official opening Trap Results of the games by our very own Olympic gold medallist Suzy Balogh. 1.

April 2005 Australian Clay Target Shooting News Page 7 ATTENTION SHOOTERS On 1 January Rule 2.01(i) was amended to include the following wording: "Once obtaining A grade a shooter cannot be regraded to C grade and once obtaining AA grade a shooter cannot be regraded to B."

Some shooters have been regraded for the 2005 shooting year under the above wording.

Rule 2.04(g) states the following: "Club Management, Rules Supervisors, State, Zone Handicappers or a member of the ACTA Executive Committee have the right to re-handicap or re-grade any obviously under-handicapped or over-handicapped, under-graded or over-graded shooter immediately. The Association is to be notified within 14 day with the reason given on a handicap return form."

If you feel you have been disadvantaged by the above amendment to Rule 2.01(i) please contact your Club Management, Rules Supervisor, State, Zone Handicapper or ACTA Executive Member along with your previous shooting cards for re-assessment.

Travelling regularly to compete is not a foreign concept to our national ISSF shotgun squad. With four World Cups, a World Cup Final, a World Championships on every year and the Olympics and Commonwealth Games thrown in every 4 years our athletes certainly need to learn how to travel in order to compete at their best. Monitoring athletes on a daily basis can be an effective tool to minimise the impact of various things on performance once you arrive to compete. There are many things you can monitor and the following is a list of things that we tracked prior to the Athens Olympics for one international event. We used the data to gain a greater understanding of some of the demands on the athletes, to educate them on effective strategies to reduce any impact on performance and also to plan for support services. Wellness database * daily cough cold symptoms (special focus following the long haul flight) * muscle soreness (both athlete numbers and severity) * general illness * injuries * general wellness were some of the issues we were able to address: * resting morning heart rate * make a concerted effort to direct athletes to massage services in * dehydration (morning urine sample) the 24-48 hours after the flight How is it administered? * encourage physical activity on arrival to reduce stiffness and soreness On the trip where we collected data daily from each athlete with a small diary and a simple daily survey. The survey was a tick box * target hydration during the flight and test immediately after the type survey, with yes no responses to illness or levels of soreness flight (data not displayed) and overall wellness rated on a scale from 0 - 5. The diary along * monitor any sick athletes to aid recovery and limit contact with with a morning hydration urine sample (discussed last article) was rest of touring group to minimise cross infection. We actually had given to me just prior to breakfast. to isolate an athlete in the Olympic Village for 3 nights after The results arrival The first display page shown here is a summary of the team data * morning heart rate in order to see which athletes were coping that we are able to view on a daily basis as the event progresses with the physical demands of travel. The heart rate is usually but also as a review tool after the event is completed. elevated for 1-2 days post travel (from baseline collected for a week before travel) and then settles. If the heart rate continued climbing we had a good idea the athlete would become sick or was not recovering well from the trip, as shown in the athlete data displayed * from individual comments pages we understood the increased physical demands of the Athens range on the Athletes. With all the stairs and limited lift facilities athletes were forced to carry heavy gear long distances and over stairs causing soreness. Some fitness programs were altered to account for this * get athletes to take their own pillows on tour to reduce neck soreness and disrupted sleep The management of athletes whilst travelling is a critical role of the coach, team manager and sport scientist. With a simple monitoring tool such as this we are able to document issues that may arise and address them in a meaningful way for the group or for the individual immediately or on return home. For example whilst on tour the data can be shown to support staff, say the masseuse/physio to speak to those who have sore spots or injuries that have flared whilst travelling. Many athletes might not generally seek out treatment as it is only a minor issue but left untreated may escalate and impact heavily on performance. The ASA and the VIS would like to thank David Milne for his work The second page is a sample page showing an individual athletes' on this database monitoring system. data highlighting the individual issues encountered by this athlete.

The Overall High Gun for the weekend was won by Tim Atkins with 345/350, dropping only two targets in Double Rise, two in Single Barrel and dropping only one point in the Pointscore event, a pretty good effort all round.

Thinking too much, analysing your game, focusing e-mail. Usually it's just a set of advertisements for courses too much on technique, and worrying about the conditions or the he is running or accreditation programs but in the last few environment are all examples of over analysis. In sports, trying months the subject matter examined what he called hard does not always help you perform better. In the Inner Game "performance routine breakdowns". of Golf, Tim Gallwey said "trying fails". This is important to realise because we are often conditioned as children to believe that if we I have mentioned in previous articles the dangers of distractions. don't succeed at first we should try again. Sometimes trying again Distractions deny us the opportunity to pay attention and will not help and instead we need to do it differently. If you need to concentrate. Distractions come in two forms: external distractions analysis any part of your performance then you should be and internal distractions. analysing what you are doing right so that you can keep doing it. External distractions include noises from behind, the loudspeaker, a shooter coughing, tapping the Phono pull, throwing empty The next internal distraction according to Cohen is rushing. cartridges on the ground, etc. When you are in the zone and Rushing your routine can also cause a breakdown as you may skip focusing well, external distractions are not issues. The targets important components in the routine. Rushing can happen for seam like dinner plates and your gun seems to just seek them out. many reasons, but the most common are when you are anxious and However, when you're not shooting well everything seems more want to get your performance started or finished quickly. Rushing difficult and you see and hear everything that is going on and it means that you are not fully focused in the here and now and that just feels more and more difficult to focus your attention. you are not focusing on the process involved in completing the shot. According to Cohen, internal distractions are the ones that cause Finally, Cohen sees laziness as an internal distraction. Laziness or us most of our problems. Internal distractions or negative thoughts a lack of mental discipline during the routine not only can lead to such as doubt or indecision can ruin a focused routine. A doubt or a breakdown but often results in not having a routine at all. This negative thought can derail confidence and sabotage trust. Doubt is less common with high-level athletes, but necessary to mention. and confidence are polar opposites. If you are completely confident, You might have heard of the phrase "going through the motions," you are not having doubt. If you have doubts about your ability to which falls under a lack of discipline. When you are going through perform, you are not fully confident. Cohen believes that an the motions in your routine, you are executing the physical parts of important strategy in dealing with internal distractions is to have the routine, without intensity or focus. You are present physically, a "pre-match routine" to concentrate your focus on the task at hand but not mentally dialled into your routine. and if necessary a "during match routine" to help you regain your It is important to be in tune with the ways you personally get focus.

The first type of internal distraction is indecision. Indecision is a common breakdown. Cohen sees indecision as Cohen says the first step is to list the top three or four ways that wavering between two or more possible courses of action. your mind may wander or gets distracted during your pre- Indecision starts from a lack of resolution or decisiveness in the performance routine so you can recognise when it happens in planning and programming phase of the routine. Anytime you have competition. The next time you do become aware, do something two options about how to perform; your body becomes confused about it instead of going ahead anyway with your performance.

This can change the tempo and think it will be OK, stop, and start again. timing of the golfer's swing all because he is undecided about the Cohen uses a simple three-step method to help you remember how club he has selected. The same is true with shooting; changing to refocus. It is called the Three R's for Refocussing; chokes, adjustable combs, shot size, cartridge speed, etc all equate for the shooter what the golfer goes through.

Friday 4:00pm it was here! The computer box to run our Trench day. For the last 6 weeks it has been a go to get our newly acquired trench traps in working order for our 1st trench shoot at our club.

Resting & waiting

April 2005 Australian Clay Target Shooting News Page 29 5:00pm Saturday we were confident that all was a go for to-morrow, we did envisage a few hiccups, so with a few tools set out at strategic places in the layout we were ready. By 10:30am we had 3 squads ready to go, & considering that West Wyalong had a Central Zone Trench Carnival we did well. As predicated we did have a few hiccups but with the shooters knowing that this was the 1st, lets say test run, they were very happy to go along with the slight delays. Our next MAJOR shoot is on SUNDAY 29th May but if we can organise the Saturday prior for practise we will advertise this in the CTSN To all those local shooters & the ones who travelled, thanks for making it a beaut relaxed day.
