Sit Still, Junior
How many times has your mother or a teacher
ever told you to sit still? Remember that?
Well, that's exactly what I'm going to ask you to
do in a minute, but for a far different reason.
You were probably embarrassing your mother.
We're going to work on developing your power
of focus.
This will help any and all of us, but if you happen
to be what some would call ADHD or hyper, this
may be tough, but you will benefit the most from it.
First I want you to do a simple deep breathing
exercise to put you in a more laid-back, reflective
state.
Stand with feet shoulder-width apart with hands
at your sides. Inhale to a 4-count while you lift
your arms up and out with palms facing up till
fingertips meet overhead with palms down. Then
exhale to a 6-count while pressing hands down
like you're squeezing air out of your lungs.
Repeat till you feel more relaxed.
Now sit in a comfortable chair and see how still
you can be. This is not as easy as it sounds. You
will have to center your attention to sitt still.
Watch and see that you are not making any
involuntary muscular movements. With a little
practice you will find you can sit still for 15
minutes. At first I advise 5 though. After you
are able to keep perfectly still, increase
the time. But never strain yourself.
You want to be relaxed.
Also try doing the breathing exercise before you
start your shooting practice. See if your focus isn't
better.
Stan Kellner teaches you how to use focus as the
first step in his Ultimate Shooting Method DVD.
If you've wondered how your form can look good,
but you still miss too many shots Stan has the
answers for you. Hint: It's all in your head, but
don't take my word for it. See the new Stan the

P.S. It also takes a lot of focus and concentration
to close the graduated resistance hand grippers
available from strongman extraordinaire John
Wood.
Have you gotten yours yet? Talk about a work-
out that is fun, but practical. Strong hands will
make you a winner, hands down. See how today
