One of the most important psychological and cognitive components of training athletes is attention, which allows you to select certain external and internal stimuli and concentrate on them. In addition, due to the specifics of the competition, the professional success of athletes involved in practical shooting is determined by the ability to distribute/switch attention between various stimuli when necessary. Even minor disturbances in the attention process can lead to dramatic changes in the efficiency and effectiveness of the process. An analysis of domestic and foreign sources has shown that for athletes involved in high-precision sports, the leading characteristics are: a high level of noise immunity, speed of motor reaction, as well as the ability to concentrate for a long time and maintain attention on a specific object or task. Currently, there is a sufficient selection of various approaches and techniques aimed at improving the mental, visual, and psychomotor components of the attention of a shooting athlete. In this work, a choice was made in favor of simple, but in our opinion, effective exercises, conditionally divided into three groups depending on the acquisition of cognitive skills, such as concentrating on performing voluntary movements, concentrating on a specific action or order of actions, concentrating on performing arithmetic operations. By regularly and consciously performing exercises, an athlete-shooter will be able to effectively get rid of unnecessary emotionality, direct energy to internal concentration, manage his attention, and concentrate only on those elements that are decisive in executing an effective shot.
