This past weekend, Alexis “Lexi” Lagan hosted an intensive coaching clinic aimed at junior and collegiate shooters eager to elevate their performance. Held at a state-of-the-art facility, the session focused on precision, mental resilience, and the technical skills required to succeed in competitive sport shooting.
Lexi, a two-time Olympian and seasoned World Championship competitor, guided participants through a structured curriculum designed to refine technique while building confidence under pressure. Topics included proper grip, sight alignment, trigger control, and stance, along with mental strategies such as visualization, focus drills, and stress management. By combining technical expertise with real-world competition insights, Alexis offered participants a holistic approach to improving their performance.
“I love helping young athletes discover what works best for them,” Lexi said. “Shooting is as much about mental preparation as it is about physical skill. The small adjustments and strategies we focus on during these sessions can make a huge difference in competition.”
The clinic also emphasized consistency and routine, encouraging shooters to develop habits that support long-term improvement. Participants rotated through one-on-one coaching, small group exercises, and simulated competition scenarios to experience the pressure of live events in a supportive environment.
Beyond technical coaching, Alexis shared her own journey to the Olympic Games, offering insight into the dedication and resilience required to compete at the highest level. From her collegiate debut at the University of Utah to her Olympic appearances in Tokyo and upcoming Paris Games, Lexi highlighted the importance of persistence, adaptability, and a growth mindset.
Parents and coaches in attendance praised the clinic for its practical advice and approachable teaching style. One parent remarked, “Lexi not only teaches the skills but inspires the mindset that helps young athletes succeed both on the range and in life.”
Through events like this, Alexis continues to cultivate the next generation of shooters while refining her own approach to competition. The hands-on experience, coupled with her expertise as an Olympic athlete and coach, makes this type of training an invaluable opportunity for aspiring athletes.
As Alexis continues her preparation for Paris 2024, she remains committed to coaching, mentoring, and giving back to the sport that has defined her career. Fans and young athletes alike can follow her updates for future clinics, workshops, and personal coaching sessions.
