“This book offers invaluable lessons that support a fulfilling journey in sport

and lays strong foundations for success in all areas of life.”

FOR PARENTS AND COACHES

You’re giving your teen athlete every opportunity—equipment, financial backing, coaching and emotional support. You agonize when they melt down, cheer when they succeed, and quite literally, feel every up and down shift of their emotions. You only want the best for your athlete.

And that is what this book is all about,

as giving young athletes the best has been my mission for more than 30 years.

I’ve put my heart, soul and expertise on the line to empower young athletes to succeed. In a very real sense, I also wrote this book for my long-ago athlete self, as I remember my frustration as a young athlete when I had no place to turn for advice.

This book, part of my SportExcel program and the MIND vs TARGET Series,

fills that gap.

It offers you and your teen the opportunity to take charge of their clays game, their education and their life—with an approach to sport high performance unknown when I was young and still largely lacking in sport to this day.

Every word is designed to give your teen

confidence, consistency, resilience, empowerment and more fun.

I pull out all the stops to empower your teen via strategies for developing leadership—in the stand, in the classroom and in their future career because high-performance cannot be contained to just one area of life!

TEEN vs TARGET gives your teen athlete strategies to:

Ramp up performance readiness and be wired at the start of each round.
Erase past mistakes and frustrations.
Banish nerves and harness the joy of competing.
Model their heroes and integrate their skills into their clays game.
Eliminate distractions and blocks to performance.
Stop intimidation in its tracks and engage their inner power to stand up for themselves.
Magnify and slow down targets.
Put the fun back in training with Bob’s three best practice strategies.
Trust their ability and stop thinking and shine.
Apply high performance for success in school.
Win, win and win again - in sport, school and life.

High-performance trainer. Mentor of champions. Martial artist.

He expects you to mark it up and bookmark your favorite pages. And, as many of his athletes already do, he suggests you keep it at the ready in your kit or gym bag after you’ve read it, for situations that may (will) arise in your sport, school and life.

WHAT ATHLETES, COACHES AND PARENTS ARE SAYING...

Bob taught me valuable techniques to use on and off the range and helped me get to the next level, which led to a silver medal victory at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

— CONNER PRINCE, Olympic Silver Medalist Paris 2024 - International Skeet, USA

Control over the mental game is the difference between good and great. As a coach, parent, and instructor, I searched for a system that teaches the best way to dominate the mental game. The Zone, taught by Bob Palmer, is an indispensable tool for success!

— PAUL DIETZ, Parent and Coach, USA

The mental game learned through Bob Palmer taught me to avoid negative energy and distractions. It has magnified my ability to use my adrenaline rush to shape what I am thinking into positive energy while in the Zone, and has boosted my confidence level, which has created consistency and focus, turning my mental game into a winning mindset.
