Parker Tomasi and his Mental Strategy

Introduction: hometown, military history, current billet

 

Can you detail your journey to becoming a distinguished rifleman for us?

 

How early does your preparation process start for a match? How does your mental preparation differ between a local and national level match?

 

The path to any achievement worth celebrating involves some form of disappointment along the way. Can you describe a loss or setback, how you overcame it, and how it made you a better shooter?

 

Support systems are important, especially for those of us involved with a demanding and intense competitive scene. Can you describe how you balance family, work, and your hobbies? For any Marines out there struggling with that balance, how do you recommend approaching that conversation with a spouse/significant other?

 

Now that you've distinguished in rifle, what's the next milestone, and how do you plan to prepare for that goal?

 

You and I recently got done shooting MCMC East and Championships back to back. What are your takeaways from that experience, and any other thoughts on those events?

 

You come from a traditional high power background. What are your thoughts as to the viability of bullseye shooting in promoting lethality amongst Marine Corps riflemen?
