The general objective of the Shooting for Success (S4S) project is to foster the personal and professional development of young shooting athletes aged 16-23 years old, supporting their transition from active sports careers to becoming skilled coaches and competent administrators. By promoting dual career pathways, the project aims to ensure that athletes are equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to manage and lead shooting sports clubs at the grassroots level.
