Videos tagged with Performance Under Pressure

This video emphasizes a structured approach to firearms training, differentiating the roles of dry fire, live fire practice, and competition matches. Lead Firearms Instructor Joel Park advises that dry fire is crucial for skill building, live fire for validation and observation, and matches for performance testing under pressure. He cautions against trying to learn new skills or significantly increase speed during competitions, as the added pressure and distractions make it an ineffective environment for skill acquisition.

John "Shrek" McPhee, a former Special Operations veteran and professional instructor, emphasizes that true skill mastery under pressure is built on a foundation of perfect execution without stress. He advises layering stressors like time and physical exertion only after a skill is consistently clean, warning that adding pressure to an unmastered skill will worsen performance.

This video addresses the common issue of being 'overcome by events' during shooting competitions or qualifications.

Advice is given for supporting children in shooting sports, emphasizing making it fun and on their terms.

This video addresses the common issue of first-stage jitters in competitive shooting. Ben Stoeger explains that pressure and nerves on the first stage are normal, even for experienced shooters. He emphasizes that the goal of training should be to perform under these high-pressure conditions, rather than expecting pressure to disappear with practice. The advice is to conceptualize training changes to ensure they are effective in a high-pressure environment.

This YouTube Shorts video explores the challenging concept of maintaining accuracy in high-stress situations, specifically within the 'fight or flight' response. While the title suggests a practical application for training and military personnel, the lack of specific firearm mentions in the title or description means the tags will focus on the broader themes of tactical training and stress management in shooting. The video aims to address whether a person's marksmanship can be effectively preserved when their adrenal system is highly activated.

Joel Park advises on the optimal difficulty level for firearms practice, recommending a 'simmering level of frustration' for most training. This approach balances challenge with the ability to self-diagnose errors, leading to consistent improvement. He contrasts this with overly easy or excessively difficult training, suggesting specific strategies for pre-match preparation.

This video, presented by former Navy SEAL Chris Sajnog, offers a technique to manage nerves and reduce shaking before shooting.
