Eight Modules
A practice for every
part of your match.
Before the Match
Breathing
Nine protocols with specific purposes — activation, relaxation, focus, regulation. Animated pacer with haptic feedback on every phase transition.
Visualization
Eight guided audio scenarios — pre-match, per-shot, recovery, finals, first shot, closing, coping, and mastery. Sensory-rich language specific to pistol shooting.
Pre-shot Routine
Build a personal cue-word routine from 36+ words across six categories. Timed practice mode with haptic pulses. Evolves with you.
Under Pressure
Pressure Protocol
Nine protocols across three layers: stress inoculation and intensity drills for training, activation boost and pre-match downregulation before the match, and on-the-line resets and between-series recovery during competition.
Mindfulness
Ten exercises adapted for shooters: presence, body scan, task focus, acceptance, drop the rope, breath awareness, letting thoughts pass, naming stories, commentary box, and focus switching.
Self-Talk
Eleven guided exercises: thought check-ins, cue word building, flip the script, reframing, affirmations, values clarification, and process goals. Replace destructive self-talk with performance-focused language.
On Match Day
Match Day
Timed preparation flow — 60 or 30 minutes. Equipment check, goal review, warm-up, breathing, visualization, and arrival at the firing point.
Competition Debrief
Capture what went well, what to work on, and one next step after a match or training session. Add detail when you are ready, with on-device dictation for your notes.
Structured Training
Your first week.
A foundation for every shot.
Seven focused sessions. Build the mental foundation that holds under pressure.
Days 1–2Breathing reset and regulation
Days 3–4Mindfulness for attention control
Days 5–6Visualization for trust and recovery
Day 7Pressure reset for the firing line
After completing the program, the app transitions to personalized daily suggestions based on your training history.
Methodology
Sport psychology for the firing line
Inner Ten is built around the Mindfulness-Acceptance-Commitment approach described in The Psychology of Enhancing Human Performance by Frank L. Gardner, PhD, ABPP, and Zella E. Moore, PsyD.
Stop fighting nerves
Pressure, thoughts, and body sensations do not need to disappear before you can shoot well. The app trains acceptance instead of wrestling for perfect calm.
Return to the task
Mindfulness is used as attention training: notice what is happening, then come back to sight picture, trigger feel, breath, and the next shot cue.
Act from values
Self-talk, routines, and reflection connect to how you want to train and compete, so behavior stays process-led when score pressure rises.
From research to practice
The app translates MAC principles into short, repeatable exercises: acceptance drills, task-focus sessions, values clarification, pre-shot routine practice, pressure exposure, and structured debriefs for competitive pistol shooters.
Made for your sport
At home on the firing line.
Generic apps teach you to breathe. Inner Ten teaches you to breathe at the firing point, with your heart rate elevated, in the last ten shots of a 60-shot match.
Shooting-specific language
Sight pictures, trigger press, hold stability, firing point. Every guided session speaks your sport.
Built by a coach
Designed by Morten Teinum, ISSF Certified Pistol Coach. Grounded in ISSF methodology and sport psychology research.
