In many sports, you would hear athletes and coaches comparing speeds, comparing timings. But, in shooting, it is all about balance, precision and focus. This is what sets shooting apart from other Olympic sports. In no other sport can fractions of a centimetre separate an athlete from a medal to not even making it to the finals.
It may be tough to visualise the difficulty in shooting (it’s not as simple as pointing the gun and hitting the bull’s eye!) Shooting is a tense and testing sport that requires immense skill and focus. Success depends on staying cool under the enormous pressure of the competition. Every twitch of your muscles affects your aim and precision.
Most sports rely on that one show of talent, that one last burst of speed, but in shooting, one can only excel when all 60 shots are fired under the best physical and mental conditions. An arduous but rewarding sport, it is not just one’s innate talent that can bring home a medal, but consistency, determination and a strong mind.
Our CCA comprises 25 or fewer members each year, allowing us to get to know one another on a deeper level and forge stronger bonds that last beyond our time in JC. To us, CCA is not just about turning up for training thrice a week to perfect our shooting. It is a family that always has one another’s encouragement and support no matter how taxing life gets.
