Meet Christoph Dürr
Christoph Dürr, competitive shooter, multiple Swiss champion across all distances (10m, 50m, 300m) and a silver medalist at the World Championships 2023, is currently in preparation for the 2024 Olympics in Paris.Mental training is highly established in shooting, deemed crucial for success. However for Christoph, his mental performance while shooting has always been based on subjective feeling rather than measurable parameters.
Focus and concentration are my goals. There are many factors that can disrupt my flow state, such as nervousness, thoughts, and self-doubt. These are the various challenges. But my goal is to maintain focus with every shot.
