I had a similar reaction on seeing it initially as it was the size of my backstop at the time. I imagine in the heat of competition it looks very tiny though lol.

If it does, then you need to clear your mind, which is something I work a lot on with the kids.

Once they're excited they can't hit anything.

I'm lucky in that my head is mostly empty anyway so clearing my mind isn't too difficult

Concentration is the highest barrier to a succesful slinging session and the easiest one to let slide

So what you are suggesting is that we all participate in foreign election interference?

damn right !

there are not enough slingers in the world for us to piddle about with country and nation boundaries - it's all for one and one for all !

I can't remember what his slinging.org handle is: funditor, maybe.

But christian is one of the nicest blokes you could hope to meet and a true embassador for slinging in all it's guises.
He goes into austrian schools to teach and run classes, brought a team of 6 slingers with him one year and even paid for one of them to travel and participate.
He even fought a spanish projector to deliver the oNLY interesting and multilingual lecture we;ve ever had at the international.

He's one of the Good guys with a capita; 'G'
He's also a pretty decent slinger. And has more trophies than jaegoor.
If you met him you would like him

And it's odds on he'd speak your language !

I don't give a damn what country you live in - VOTE FOR CHRISTIAN SAM !
This is for the whole global nation of slingers Thumbs Up

Are we going to let someone who goes for 'walks' beat him ?
Hell No !
Spread it around whatever social media you have.
Come on guys stand up for one of your own.

In martial arts my problem is more that I focus so much that I forget to breath.

Very small... I can attest to that. It's quite amazing what being watched by people that have been slinging longer than you've been alive can do to your aim.

Even if you remove the slinging element, you should all vote for Christian just because he's such an awesome guy Cheesy

I agree with everything C_A said and I only met him last year in person Cheesy

And yes his handle is funditor. Also, just a note, you can vote more than once... Actually, you can vote every hour or so. Just thought I should mention it...

Wielding the mighty collective power of the world's largest international slinging collective reveals...
just how small and powerless we are against to the mighty voice of the Austrian people. Smiley
