We \u2018met\u2019 in significantly varying wind conditions \u2013 fortunately online via the Zoom app from all corners of the country for an excellent session hosted and run once again by Matty Ensor. Matty has run many of these online training sessions before and we were delighted that he was able to offer his services once again for the benefit of the England Team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After an introduction to the session and team briefing from our Captain Turbo, emphasizing the great importance of establishing an accurate and reproducible team plotting technique to optimize our team performance under match conditions – we started the 90 minute session with an hour long presentation from Matty covering aspects of pre-match target team preparation including practice plotting and the sharing of best-practice techniques and ideas, pre-match individual preparation and the \u2018science and philosophy\u2019 of accurate and speedy plotting during the actual shoot. Matty gave us many helpful and highly useful tips and tricks to ensure that we all gained vastly from the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matty discussed the basics of plotting and what was \u2018required\u2019 of a  plotter at this level, in terms of a \u2018basic or bronze\u2019 requirement \u2026 right the way through to the \u2018gold standard\u2019 which our Captain hopes we will all achieve by the time we tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We then focused our scopes, sharpened our pencils ( after having filled in all the data fields on the plot!) and concentrated our minds on the next 30 minutes of \u2018live\u2019 plotting during a simulated shoot \u2013 the speed of which, we subsequently learned, certainly surprised a few sleepy individuals including myself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Post plotting exercise analysis and discussion between team members and our teacher raised many valuable teaching points and emphasised the difficulty in plotting the shoot with both high accuracy shot position, speed of both elevation ( and wind) graph production, predicting elevation change calls required and recording the score whilst letting the next shooter start their final shooting preparation and liasing clearly and consisely with the virtual register keeper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks go to Matty Ensor once again for his time and considerable efforts \u2013 which I have no doubt will help all of us in the England Team, by the \u2018aggregation of marginal gains\u2019 to succeed in the forthcoming team matches in both South Africa and Kenya in 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
