Calm Under Pressure: What Hybrid Sport Teaches Women About Shooting & Self-Trust

In this episode of the Women Who Hunt Podcast, we explore what it really means to stay calm when it counts.

Hybrid athlete and podcaster Monique McCreanor joins us to talk about competing in high-pressure hybrid events that combine endurance, strength, and precision — including shooting and other outdoor skills.

We dive into how athletes learn to control breathing, focus the mind, and trust themselves under fatigue, and why those same skills are critical for women stepping into shooting and hunting for the first time.

This episode covers:
• Staying calm under pressure
• Shooting with a high heart rate
• Building self-trust and confidence
• The crossover between hybrid sport and hunting
• Why women don’t need permission to take up space

If you’re a woman interested in shooting, hunting, or pushing past self-doubt, this conversation will leave you feeling grounded, capable, and inspired.
