📢 SATR​F Coaches’ Corner | Athlete Health First
Before we talk about scores, equipment, or technique — we must talk about health.
In this short video, Coach Bernard Laferla (ISSF C-Level Coach) reminds athletes and parents of the importance of regular medical check-ups.
Competitive shooting demands:
Cardiovascular stability
Clear and corrected vision
Strong postural health
Mental focus and resilience
An annual medical assessment, vision test, and proper injury management are essential to ensure athletes are fit to train and compete safely.
🎯 Performance starts with health.
