About My Coaching Credentials & Philosophy
You need more than a coach who just watches you shoot; you need a mentor who has competed at the highest level. I personally oversee technical form corrections at my range in Delhi, ensuring you master the correct grip, stance, and sight alignment from day one, rather than building habits that hold you back.
My philosophy at Champion Shooting Academy is simple: focus, discipline, and constant refinement. As a Grade 'A' certified coach from the National Institute of Sports (NS-NIS), I combine the technical standards required for national championships with the mental resilience needed to perform under pressure.
My training methodology goes beyond basic instruction. When you train with me, we utilize Sius Ascor electronic targets to track your progress with decimal-point precision. This is the same scoring technology used in major international competitions, so you know exactly where you stand against the competition. Whether you are aiming for the 10m air pistol podium or looking to master 50m rifle events, my goal is to provide a structured path to success.
I treat every student differently because no two shooters are the same. We focus on:
- Technical Analysis: Hands-on correction of your posture and trigger control.
- Mental Conditioning: Strategies to build focus and composure during matches.
- Physical Foundation: Exercises for stability and endurance, vital for long shooting sessions.
We welcome everyone from beginners who are firing their first pellet to competitive athletes preparing for the State or National Shooting Championships. My academy in Kalkaji and our facility at VSPK International School, Rohini, are designed to support your journey. If you are ready to work hard and push your limits, I am here to help you get there.
