"Competence leads to confidence. To be proficient, the archer needs to learn what they need to be doing, when, and why. Archery technique is simple and performance can be enhanced through understanding.  

Physical training and mental skills will make a technical archer into a successful one, but, like technical, these skills require consistent and patient practice. It is the coach's job to equip the athlete with relevant information, to give them what they need in that moment, whilst keeping the long-term development in mind. There are no quick fixes, but there are simple solutions, and anything can be achieved with good work ethic and a coach who can inspire, listen and respond to the athlete's needs. Mastery is a path and a journey, therefore the coach and the athlete should never stop learning.".
