Not only do we need to have a strong technical game, but we must have a peak mental game as well. Anyone that has attended a United States Army Marksmanship (USAMU) clinic knows one of the classes we teach is our “Easy Points” class. +is class helps beginning shooters correct mistakes and not lose easy points in competition. Some of these include cross /ring, shooting too many shots and correcting a ri0e zero. Another category where many easy points are lost is from a poor mental game. It is important to remember that the mental game is not something you have to wait to acquire until you are a collegiate shooter or a member of the USA Shooting National Development Team or even the USA Shooting (USAS) National Team. As a junior or beginning shooter, it is imperative that you start to solidify a strong mental game because it will be a tremendous asset later on to control it by using safe words that we will talk about later in in your shooting career. In this article, I will discuss three major the article. You can calm down, settle and move con/dently to areas of mental training to focus on.

    MN Youth Basketball Virtual Outreach Sessions presented by Jimmy John’s and brought to you by www.myas.org Thank you to the 94 youth basketball association leaders representing 85 youth basketball associations from around the state of Minnesota, for attending the Virtual Outreach Sessions. One of our many goals as an organization is to link regional volunteer youth sports programs with others statewide and that is what we intend to do. We are here to provide guidance, support, and assistance to every youth basketball association in the state of Minnesota. Our goal is to unify the Minnesota youth basketball community which will foster the 5 C’s: 1. Compliance 2. Communication 3. Connectivity 4. Consistency 5. Conciseness As the 2020-2021 winter community-based basketball season draws closer and closer, we need to ensure that the entire Minnesota Youth Basketball Community is #strongertogether. We know many youth basketball leaders have expressed much concern about the upcoming season due to the unknowns we have at this time. We know that a task force was created by the MSHSL to determine the direction of winter sports. A decision will then be made by the MSHSL Board of Directors in October. This decision will not dictate what happens at the youth level, but it will greatly impact how we move forward as a youth basketball community. At the MYAS, we have proven that with the correct safety precautions and guidelines in place, we are able to administer youth basketball tournaments in a safe way. That is our #1 priority for your youth basketball association to do the same this winter.
