| RE: A good coach....
To me a good coach must
Be a good shooter. There are many coaches who are failed archers. Unless they have a string of 1300 students, I'ld be careful.
Understand Biomechanics. This is the key to good coaching
Understand competition pressure. How can they teach you to win, if they never have?
Encourage communication with others. Many coaches are protective and will often try to stop students dealing with higher end coaches. This is rubbish and does nothing for the archer.
Explain things. They can't teach you if you have no idea what or why you are doing something. |
