By Gianluca Zanna and Dr. Claudette Lyons. A book about the mental half of close-quarters shooting — the part that decides whether the skills you've trained actually arrive when you need them.
What it covers:
- How mental state shapes physical performance under threat
- The physiology of fear and stress — what adrenaline does to vision, hearing and fine motor control
- Self-hypnosis techniques adapted for close-quarters work
- Visualisation and mental rehearsal for realistic scenarios
- Building resilience so composure holds under pressure
- Focus, managing distraction, and maintaining situational awareness
- Mental approaches to faster target acquisition
Written for people who already train — military, law enforcement, armed professionals, and serious civilian shooters. It assumes you have the physical skills and addresses what happens to them under stress.
