Scotti Files: Week 1; Session 1; Video 3

This is the third of three training videos on day one of training Scotti.  This segment of the first training session focuses on the how the grip should feel and gives practical queuing points on the knuckle overlap of the hands, the palm pressure and getting high on the gun.

This first serious of three videos focuses on stance and grip, but the to train these we talk about the draw.  By focusing on the draw, we can establish technique to getting into the proper stance and grip.  Also by being distracted by the draw we are working relaxation and loose muscles.  This video deals with draw grip and stance.

Coaching Points:

• Divide and Conquer
  • Cheat the stance and be in the final stance
• Minimize unnecessary movement
  • Less is more.  As Bruce Lee said, "hack away at the un-essentials.  
• Be loose, relaxed, don't take yourself too seriously
  • Loose muscles are fast muscles
• Pick you battles to focus on
  • A lot is thrown at Scotti but not too much.  
  • Issues like focusing on the front sight, or relying on natural point of aim are dealt with later.  
  • Right now she has awareness of the muzzle alignment when she breaks the shots and that is good enough for now.

Basically this serious on day 1 focuses on grip and stance, but moreover, the mindset of being relaxed and fluid.  Once relaxed muscles and fluidity are established in the ground, technique can be built thereupon.
