[ExSCA]

Melanie Sykes getting some coaching from Peter Wilson...

"And she scored an instant hit — taking out her first two targets perfectly. Now she wants to train properly so she can compete during the 2016 Olympics in Rio."

There is no such thing as bad publicity......good for her ...!

Hope she goes for OT or OSK otherwise she will not get there :smile:

A hotty for the sport.....

Sorry but yes I do read the Sun and the Daily Mail.

Any one see the article with Malanie Sykes having a lesson with Peter Wilson and now destined for the next Olypics? Didn't know it was that easy.

Might enter too.

Depends who your competing against !!

 

[eggchaser]

There is a pretty well known theory from a chap called Bayli where he asserts it takes 10,000 hours to reach world class performance.

On that reckoning Ms Sykes will need to train 9 hours a day, 7 days a week to amass the time needed to make selection a possibility.

Joking aside I do hope she keeps it up

Olympics or not, it can only be positive for Clay Shooting having well known celebrities involved in the sport!

Anybody told her that the non-Olympic versions of shooting are the only good ones? (Tin hat)

I posted about this on ShootClay yesterday - http://shootclay.co.uk/2013/02/04/melanie-sykes-gets-coached-by-peter-wilson/ - and the story got picked by melanie Sykes who retweeted us - the site has had a number of new twitter followers since yesterday!

The old saying 'all publicity is good publicity' seems to ring true!

if you go to the sun page - the interview with her and Peter Wilson is great fun!

Glad to see someone else knows the 10,000 hour rule....we have discussed this before on some of the other threads. Matthew S wrote a good easy book about it called Bounce.

She's had a pretty varied career - but no Corrie that I can see : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melanie_sykes - the key thing is that she is a very popular, very tabloid friendly - and the more of those people we get out clay shooting can only be a positive for the sport.

I have that book on my Amazon list at the moment - is it good?

Well she certainly does not offend the eye
