As part of the festival, Olympic gold medallist Abhinav Bindra and Italian shooting coach Niccolò Campriani will be hosting an exclusive online experience for the very first time on the Airbnb platform on July 28.

Together, Bindra and Campriani will dive into unique techniques of stress management and coach guests through dealing with their inner thoughts and emotions on the session 'How to sleep the night before the Games'.

Both veterans in the field of shooting, with over 15 years of experience, will explore visualization and techniques like hypnosis, neurofeedback, biofeedback and more to help their audiences manage stress.

During the hour-long session, the duo will also present a series of practical anecdotes that contain transferrable skills which are applicable in and beyond athletics.
