In the news today, a recent study suggests that by keeping happy you may ward off heart disease. Does this mean that there is truth in the saying that someone is “heart-broken”?
(This is another story along the similar line on which I blogged last year - Meditation eases heart disease)
“US researchers monitored the health of 1,700 people over 10 years, finding the most anxious and depressed were at the highest risk of the disease. They could not categorically prove happiness was protective, but said people should try to enjoy themselves.”
“Essentially spending a few minutes each day truly relaxed and enjoying yourself is certainly good for your mental health and may improve your physical health as well.”

Sports Psychology has been applied for many years and is now seen is essential for any top athlete, whatever their sport. The brain training I refer to is the Sports Neurology – a new field of peak performance giving athletes an extra edge. This encompasses the maturing field of neurofeedback as well as more cutting edge systems as used by The Brain Training Company.

It is interesting to see that 4 of the top 10 members of the USA “NSCA 2010 All American Team” in sporting clays have learnt mental training skills with The Brain Training Company.
What are your goals in 2010 for your sporting clays, trap or skeet shooting? Do you need to gain that mental edge? Perhaps you should also be thinking about attending the same training course as these top level shooters?
