If you have the time to train for an hour every day would it be better to training shooting one day and pointing the next or do each in batches?

Today I played in a melee which mixed up triples and doubles to suit and in the 1st game I played against a gentleman who must have been 80. I was paired with a decent player and we were confident of the win. We played well, I hit lots of boule and so did he. I pointed well and all seemed good in the heat of Aude. But this old Man simply wouldn’t give up. He hit everything at 6/7/8 meters and shot raffle at longer. His partner wasn’t great but thrived off his will to win and constant encouragement. It went all the way to 12/12 and we just scrapes through when he missed his first shot. Turns out he was a former local champion and has been playing with the same determination for 70 years. No wonder he was a tough competitor. My taking from this were that no matter how old, whoever you are playing and no matter what the situation you always have a chance if you refuse to give up.

I did this video a while ago with Steve as it works wonders when you don’t have much time to practice before a tournament but need to get your mind and arm ready for battle. Mixing it up constantly to create different shooting or pointing scenarios to remove any thoughts, worries and to focus on ONLY the shot at that moment. These are the sort of private things I do when coaching others https://youtu.be/Yaqi_q98yTU?si=bxkt9CtIWdMIqrhx

Eric and John Tell us a little about yourselves. What brought you here and what do you want to gain from being part of this academy?

Preparing for tomorrow’s national triplets. I hope this is the right preparation 😂. Cheers friends!
