Center for Instructor
Study
“doce ut discas”
Teach that you
may learn
Objective
The objective at C.I.S. is
to provide a learning center for those who sincerely want to achieve
recognized instructor skills in the clay target disciplines, primarily
Sporting Clays. For shooters in pursuit of their shotgun goals, every aspect
of the C.I.S. program is dedicated to assisting you in becoming a highly
skilled, reputable source for instructional services. Here, the instructor
candidates can study the mechanical and mental aspects of the clay target
sports; acquire the tools of our trade; and take their teaching to the next
level.
Philosophy
To
instruct successfully requires effective communication. At C.I.S., we
believe what you communicate and how you communicate rightly defines your
abilities as an instructor.
Like shooting, teaching is more an art than a science, and requires a
different set of skills. To learn the art of instructing and obtain a
certification will require the study of why shooter performance can only be
as strong as the shooter’s form and the mental strengths of the individual.
Eager, anxious, doubting, sometimes fearful,..... shooting clients deserve
the instructor’s respect and utmost care. C.I.S. is committed to helping you
assist all your clients, safely, with first-hand knowledge, expertise,
kindness and concern.
-
There are many types of clients, all with personalized goals and
commitment levels, from entertainment to formal instruction. Be it
the corporate and social shooter or the competitor—beginner to
advanced—our instructors are groomed to work with a comprehensive
list of physical, psychological and shooting related tasks.
-
Wingshooting is the foundation, and purpose, for many who
participate in sporting clays. Teaching, business and recreational
aspects of wingshooting are predominant topics in C.I.S. classes.
-
Men and women are invited to study for a
certification. To foster female participation in our sport—and
better inform male instructors—female considerations are a component
of the certification classes.
-
The instructor teaches respect for the game and discovery of one’s
capabilities. Student performance improves and confidence does
emerge as the instructor patiently uncovers and reveals the
student’s natural talents.
-
Exemplifying safety, competency and a consummate level of
professionalism, these are the hallmarks of our instructor.
