Mental Management Training by Lanny Bassham
Dimas believes that it is not enough to train the body, but one must also train the mind so that it too can be "pointed with the gun (quote from Lanny Bassham)." If not, the result is an inconsistent shooter. Thus, your lessons will also incorporate the mental aspects of shooting to provide a consistent and reliable method that won't let you down, even if the target setter has done everything he can to fool you.
Dimas holds another distinction that separates him from other instructors/coaches...he is
the only sporting clays instructor/coach Certified as a Level III Coach with the Mental Management Systems created by Olympic Gold Medalist and World Champion, Lanny Bassham. There are only 2 other individuals in the entire country that have achieved this same Coaching level. As an Certified Level III coach, Dimas incorporates the fantastic Mental Management System to your shooting endeavors. To learn much more about this aspect of our coaching methods, go to our
