STS COVID-19 Webinar Programme
Update (14 July)
STS COVID-19 Webinar Programme
To help members during this time of lock down, STS has scheduled a series of online webinars on areas of interest expressed by members through our education survey.
TODAY’s Session
Our next session will be TODAY and is on Strength and Conditioning Training for Shooters.
While target shooting requires a lot of mental strength, shooters should not ignore the need to condition their body for the stresses and strains that can be put on it when shooting, especially over pro-longed training sessions.
This workshop, delivered by one of Scotland’s top strength and conditioning experts with experience across a range of sports, including shooting, will provide hints and tips of exercises and routines to help you both in and out of lockdown so your body is well conditioned to the rigours, stresses and strains of shooting to both help you prepare for competition but also help your longevity in the sport.
The session will be delivered by Neil Crosbie from sportscotland’s Scottish Institute of Sport with numerous year’s experience in strength and conditioning but particularly working with shooters. Get signed up now!
Our Last Session
Our last session, Communications Workshop: How to Positively Promote Your Club, was recorded so if you were not able to make this session you can take the opportunity to watch it back. This session was recorded using GoToMeeting where it is not possible to clip the playback or provide an audio option, so I have provided some further details below to help -
Playback Length: 1hr 23mins 47 secs
Password: There is no password for this playback
The video could not be clipped so skip to the following time for the start of the session: 17:06 (this can also be accessed by selecting the first slide at the bottom of the screen).
New Additions
We are in discussions with out partners about adding more sessions to the programme - we will update you here next week with what any new additions. Let us know by completing the education survey.
About The Sessions
The programme has been designed to include a mix of sessions to appeal to shooters of every different discipline and every standard. Some will focus on specific disciplines and some may be more high performance related but it has been designed to provide something for everyone, responding to the requests received from members.
In general, most sessions will run on a Tuesday evening to allow people at work to still get involved. For the majority, the sessions will run from 6-7pm and will be free for all members to attend. Session may over run slightly but we will endeavour to finish on time.
Initial sessions will be quite broad but where there is clear demand and interest in a topic, we will look to provide more in depth dives on a future date.
The majority of the sessions will be hosted by STS and run in an informal manner with presentations and discussions on topics of interest, with the opportunities for you to ask questions. However some, such as the course on child protection, are officially recognised courses, hosted by external partners and on completion of the course those attending will receive certification to prove they have completed the course.
We have tried to make the programme as varied as possible but are always open to suggestions. If you would like to let us know your suggestions, please complete our education survey.
