RE: Coaching



A good coach should be able to build a good basic form that can be fine tuned into championship level form given time and guidance.</p>

What I see is coaches who hardly understand how the human body works. They say, do whatever suites you... Rarely does a coach say No, thats all wrong, good form should look like this.</p>

Most coaches also don't understand the finer points of archery. Expansion, clicker control, correct back muscle usage - this is most common, aiming techniqe, exercises, body position, shared by an equal lack of understanding of archery equipment.</p>

The (few)#people I most respect are not usually#qualified coaches but I consider them to#be highly competant and understand archery. Shirt is one of them, though I dont know if he is qualified or not. </p>

I have never met a coach who understood archery.</p>
