Bibliography

This page is seriously in need of some updates as of August 2020. As a coach and athlete, you must constantly be adding to your toolkit. Books are one of the best ways of developing your understanding of any subject. I’ll be updating this section shortly, and adding more non-shooting titles which are vital to your development.
