Just for fun… A Match scenario!
Lets say its a tight match, score is 11-12. You are the only one standing with one boule left. The opponent have the point in this round but it is like 1,5m from the jack. And you have the 2nd and 3rd boule. So shoot to win or point safe and play a new round at 12-12? Wich will you choose and why? Does it matter to you if its 6,8 or 10 meters? Happy friday all!

@Jimmy Skog I think that the strategy as a team depends on the skills of the players. If you shoot with 65-70 % accuracy then I would agree that we should be on the offensive. But many times the shooting may not be that great. So you should point more. It depends on the day you are as a team. In this particular scenario i feel that i would shoot for the win, but i can' t be that sure until i face this for real. Also i always talk with my teammate, if he tells me he doesn't want to shoot or point, i think the best thing is not to pressure him but leave the final decision to him who has the boule.
It’s time to go ALL IN
Tomorrow I give my notice to my employer and landlord. I’m off to live and play in Aigne near Carcassonne. I’ll be filming regularly and offering French Boule breaks when I’ve sorted everything. It’s time to make my coaching a priority and to unleash myself on the French Petanque scene and document the entire process. You heard it here first

Goals exclusive video for members
Good morning everyone. Had a few issues in Carcassonne which meant this video is a little late. I also wanted to upload it to the Skool platform but it’s not happy with a long video so it’s on YouTube as UNLISTED which means only the members here get to view it https://youtu.be/foroHBq4kTA?si=2PpL1fPSveZWs9RP

Thank for the advices!
This weekends training video
I’m preparing content for this weekend and my thoughts are on setting goals for the year. Goals in Pètanque are vital to gauge progress, gather evidence of improvement and a sense of accomplishment and motivation. It’s not as easy as setting a PB (personal best) in running, weight lifting or fitness. What specific goals would YOU like me to focus on so I can create the right content?

My goal is my technique to get better in both pointing and shooting. If that`s the case the overall results will be better in both roles. I have different styles in pointing. I mean how i grab the boule. Sometimes depp in my palm and then i close my fingers, other time with my fingers first and close them not so deep in my palm. I do that in high lob, demi parte or rolling. In all cases i have some days good and some days bad results. So maybe my goal is to get one technique and only and be very good at that.
