MENTAL FOCUS

High performance shooting requires a tremendous amount of mental focus. The best
shooters will tell you once you’ve mastered physical mechanics, it’s all a
mental game. If that’s true, then why is it so difficult to maintain that
requisite level of mental focus?

Like water running downhill seeks the path of least resistance, the human
brain—a finely tuned instrument designed for maximum efficiency—is genetically
predisposed to optimize CPU processing power. Its default setting is to conserve
energy, work effort and bandwidth like water flowing along the path of least
resistance.

The brain’s tendency towards relaxation versus the hard mental focus required
for shooting well is a complex interplay of various neurological processes. In
his book “The Brain That Changes Itself,” Dr. Norman Doidge explores the concept
of neuroplasticity and how the brain can rewire itself throughout life. While
the book covers a wide range of topics related to brain plasticity, it also
offers insights into why it can be difficult to focus mentally. The book
presents salient topics relevant to mental laziness versus focus.

Doidge discusses how the brain’s ability to change and adapt, known as
neuroplasticity, plays a role in habit formation and attention. He explains that
repeated behaviors and thought patterns can lead to the strengthening of neural
connections associated with those habits. This process, known as Hebbian
plasticity, can make it difficult to break out of habitual patterns of thinking
and focus on new tasks or information.

The book explores various attentional disorders, such as attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and their underlying neurobiological mechanisms.
Doidge discusses how disruptions in neural circuits involved in attention and
executive function can contribute to difficulties in maintaining focus and
inhibiting distractions.

Doidge examines how modern environments characterized by constant stimulation
and information overload can impact attention and focus. He suggests that
excessive sensory input can overwhelm the brain’s processing capacity and lead
to difficulties in concentrating on specific tasks or goals.

The book emphasizes the interconnectedness of mind and body in shaping brain
function and plasticity. Doidge discusses how factors such as stress, emotions,
and physical health can influence cognitive processes, including attention and
focus. Chronic stress, for example, can impair cognitive function and make it
harder to concentrate.

Doidge explores various interventions aimed at enhancing cognitive function and
attention through targeted brain-training exercises. He discusses how activities
like meditation, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and neurofeedback can promote
neuroplasticity and improve attentional control.

The book suggests that while focusing mentally can be challenging due to various
neurobiological and environmental factors, understanding the principles of
neuroplasticity and adopting strategies to harness brain plasticity can help
improve attention and focus over time.

Outside of Doidge’s research, there are several accepted factors known to
collectively contribute to the brain’s tendency towards relaxation and its
dynamic interplay with focused attention. While relaxation is essential for
mental well-being, recreation and creativity, finding a balance between
relaxation and focus is crucial for optimal cognitive function and productivity.

The brain has a network called the Default Mode Network (DMN), which is active
when we are not focused on the outside world. This network becomes more active
during restful states such as daydreaming, mind-wandering, or during passive
activities. Studies have shown that the DMN is associated with self-referential
thoughts, introspection, and autobiographical memory, suggesting a link between
relaxation and the brain’s default state.

Neurotransmitters play a crucial role in regulating brain states. For instance,
the release of neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin and endorphins during
relaxed states can promote feelings of pleasure and contentment. Conversely,
neurotransmitters like norepinephrine and acetylcholine are associated with
arousal and attention, promoting focus and alertness.

Different brain wave patterns are associated with different states of
consciousness. During relaxation, the brain tends to exhibit slower alpha and
theta waves, which are linked with a relaxed, meditative state. On the other
hand, focused attention is associated with faster beta waves. The brain
naturally oscillates between these different states throughout the day,
depending on various factors such as task demands, environment, and internal
states.

The brain has limited cognitive resources, and it allocates these resources
based on task demands. During relaxed states, the brain may conserve energy and
resources, allowing for introspection, creativity, and mental restoration. In
contrast, focused attention requires the allocation of resources towards
goal-directed tasks, often at the expense of other cognitive processes.

While the human brain is capable of both relaxation and focused attention,
various lines of scientific evidence suggest a natural predisposition towards
relaxation, which is influenced by factors such as neurobiology and
environmental demands. You’re not the only riding the struggle bus to stay
mentally focused in high-performance shooting. The good news is that more you
train to stay on task, the more you develop mental focus. The greater your
mental focus, the greater your shooting performance.
