Most
shooters’ reaction to adversity is to allow themselves to speed up in
everything they do - especially in how fast they talk.
This leads to a timing problem, which leads to hope. Then this leads to
evaluation, which deeply drinks the hormonal cocktail of choice - cortisol.
Cortisol is a hormone that makes your hands speed up, compromises your ability
to focus and makes your breathing shallow and labored. This thought process
typically occurs in a win or lose situation, and this thought process is
instant evaluation in the face of adversity.
