Working With Scatt
Working With SCATT by Tricia Van Nus is a practical, coach-driven guide to using electronic training data effectively—without misinterpretation. Rather than treating SCATT as a scoring shortcut, the book emphasizes correct analysis, pattern recognition, and coaching judgment. Clear and experience-based, it is especially valuable for shooters and coaches who want to turn SCATT traces into meaningful technical improvements instead of noise.
What strengthens this book is its alignment with the broader SCATT e-Trainer philosophy: SCATT is not about chasing perfect traces, but about understanding why shots happen. The focus is on hold quality, approach patterns, timing, and shot release behavior—using trace data to support observation, not replace it. Like the Coach Excellence material, Van Nus stresses that data without context can mislead, and that progress comes from linking SCATT feedback to stance, grip, triggering, and mental execution.
Used correctly, SCATT becomes a powerful diagnostic and learning tool—revealing consistency, rhythm, and stability trends that are invisible on paper targets alone. This book helps shooters and coaches develop the analytical discipline needed to ask the right questions, avoid over-coaching, and apply SCATT within a structured training plan rather than as a standalone solution.
