At Mycelyum, we’re passionate about supporting high-performance individuals who push boundaries in their pursuit of excellence — not just physically, but mentally. That’s why we’re thrilled to officially welcome Allan Harding to the Mycelyum family as our newest Sponsored Athlete.
Allan isn’t your average competitor. He’s a 4-time Canadian National Pistol Champion who has represented Canada on the world stage at the ISSF World Cup Series, the ISSF World Championships, the Commonwealth Games, and the Pan American Games. Specializing in Olympic-style ISSF 10m and 50m pistol events, Allan competes in one of the most mentally demanding sports on the planet.
“This sport isn’t just about steady hands — it’s about absolute mental discipline,” Allan explains.
In 10m pistol, shooters fire 60 precision shots over 75 minutes, aiming for a bullseye just 11.5mm wide — smaller than a dime. Every shot is taken standing, one-handed, and under intense pressure. Jet lag, unfamiliar environments, and high-stakes conditions only add to the challenge.
“Mental sharpness is everything,” Allan says. “You’re not just competing against the world’s best — you’re also managing your heart rate, your breathing, and your inner dialogue.”
This level of focus and endurance requires tools that support the mind as much as the body. That’s where Mycelyum’s FOCUS Lion’s Mane gummies come in.
“I’ve incorporated FOCUS into my daily supplement routine and it’s made a noticeable difference,” says Allan. “I feel more alert during dryfire training, sharper during live-fire sessions, and more dialed in when I’m managing long stretches of screen time for tech work.”
Lion’s Mane has been studied for its role in supporting cognitive function, memory, and focus — all of which are essential not only for elite athletes like Allan, but for anyone managing high cognitive demands.
Whether you're training for a national championship, managing a busy workload, or simply looking to stay mentally sharp through your day, FOCUS is designed to support that extra edge.
We’re proud to have Allan in our corner and can’t wait to follow his journey on the road to Nationals and beyond. Stay tuned for updates, behind-the-scenes insights, and performance strategies from a world-class athlete with a true mental game.
