60 Seconds With Chris Batha

Anxiety and arousal are often confused and thought to be the same, but really, they are different aspects of similar reactions. Arousal is being up and ready. Anxiety is nervousness or distress. This leads to trying too hard, creates tension, tightens muscles and reduces performance. Anxiety causes attention to stray from the target to interior focus.

 

Nervousness is normal and is necessary to achieve the optimum arousal levels, but by balancing or controlling Anxiety and Arousal you can reach “The Zone.”

 

This tip came from the book “Breaking Clays – Target Tactics, Tips & Techniques” by Chris Batha.
