Here, I believe that success in trap shooting goes beyond physical skill; it starts with understanding the science of the brain.
Join me as I explore techniques and strategies designed to enhance your focus, confidence, and overall, empowering you to hit your targets consistently and elevate your performance to new heights.
Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned shooter, unlock the mental edge that can make all the difference in your shooting journey.
Founded by Stephanie Neuman, LCSW—a lifelong competitive shooter, former Patrol Sergeant with a warrior’s mindset, and Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in trauma—the program blends tactical skill with neuroscience.
Through years of study and lived experience, Stephanie has come to understand how the brain and body internalize every loss and every win a shooter experiences. She has transformed this insight into practical, actionable tools designed to help shooters learn, grow, and sharpen their mental edge.
What do you do when you miss a target?
How does your body react?
Do you curl your toes or tighten your back?
Where does your mind go?
Whatever happens, your body is now different the next time you shoot. The muscles are contracting different, your stance may even be different and your mind is distracted.
How do you get it back to the ZONE?
UNDERSTAND THE SCIENCE
Neuroscientists have discovered that every experience we go through is stored within our bodies. As Delmonte (2022) states, no psychological change occurs without a corresponding neurological change. For a trap shooter, this means that every shift in mindset triggers a physical shift at the neural level.
When our mindset turns negative, whether due to stress, frustration, or a missed shot—our bodies respond with physical symptoms like tension or discomfort. Conversely, a positive mindset supports a more relaxed, focused state that allows our bodies to perform with greater ease. In simple terms: when we miss a target, our body tightens. When we stay positive, it stays ready.
MASTER THE MINDSET
Do you ever stand on the line and think about all the things you didn't do prior to coming to shoot?
Do you count the targets you have missed and focus on what your final score could be?
Do you worry more about the people your shooting with than your next shot?
Mastering each shot becomes much simpler when you understand what you're doing. By finding specific eye positions, shooters can activate the subcortical regions of the brain—areas responsible for instinctive responses and focus. Aligning to this eye position allows shooters to center their minds before calling for the bird, creating a state of deep focus that can be maintained throughout the entire round.
MentalClays helps shooters sharpen their focus and tap into their individual strengths and abilities. This mindset can be activated through simple, targeted exercises performed before stepping up to the line. These techniques are delivered clearly and professionally through instructional videos or personalized 1-on-1 coaching. Whether you're a beginner or an elite competitor, MentalClays offers three expertly designed plans to support your goals at every level. To gain the experience and information you need, there is a three month minimum on each plan.
