His students often report going from average performers to winning major competitions or achieving higher classifications like Grandmaster after adopting these mental strategies.

Anderson sees that his students are not just taking one class; many return for repeated sessions or explore different facets of the mental game, indicating a deep commitment to mastering this aspect of shooting. This ongoing engagement has also led to a culture where shooters share and learn from each other's experiences, further fueled by Anderson's podcast episodes. * * Mental Game as a Competitive Edge: There's a growing understanding among competitors that mastering the mental aspects can provide a substantial edge over others who might focus solely on physical skills. Anderson's teachings have helped demystify how mental preparation can lead to consistency under pressure, which is vital in practical shooting sports.
