Mom said there would be days like these. No matter what you do, nothing seems to work. Last week you were the class champion, today, you’re a loser. One of my most often asked questions, is “How do you handle a miss, how do you keep going?”This may be one of the toughest questions asked of a coach. Dealing with the emotional let down of missing a target, of not succeeding, is not easy. Even tougher is dealing with it in a professional manner, acting as if it is not a bother and continuing on as if it had not happened. Easier said than done, yet most experts in shooting, and any other related sport will give you such an answer. You must accept your failure, but continue on not letting it affect the outcome of the remainder of your event.
