Was ist Coaching Um die Schützen weiter zu entwickeln müssen wir auch die Coaches weiter entwickeln Time Entry 0 1 2 3 4 5 Level Athlete Coach level 1 ENTRY LEVEL Archer and COACH: Archers are novices, recreational archers, unskilled archers... The coach must: Teach the most common technical basic archery skills, since we do not know which archery division and discipline the novice will shoot in the future. Use games to make enjoyable sessions Some archers have no ambition to act on a high platform or they just have not enough time to invest in archery. They will act on a club performance level. The coach in that case has little to do with high performance championships and so on. The recreational archer needs an entry level coach during their whole career. At the end the archer may have more know-how than the coach. 3 3

Entwicklung von Schützen und Trainern Was ist Coaching Entwicklung von Schützen und Trainern Coach level 1,2 Athlete Time Entry 0 1 2 3 4 5 Intermediate Level INTERMEDIATE LEVEL ARCHER AND COACH Archers are: those who have completed the level 1 many recreational archers, even if they attend to some competitions, they want to spend their free time for a hobby consisting to shoot arrows from a bow. They are not so disposed to develop other sport related skills during their free time such as running, strengthening.... Most of them needs the help of the coach to become a specialist of one bow division and a pair of archery disciplines; hence the level 2 coach needs a specialized education in this bow division and these archery disciplines. those who are not enough skilled to reach the elite level Sometimes the same coach looks after the archers of the level 1 and 2, but sometimes 2 different coaches do it. Most archers and coaches do not reach the elite level. Starting at the entry level they proceed to an intermediate level, which is the highest possible level in their career. The archer may change the coach after entry level for a more qualified one or the coach can develop from entry level coach to intermediate level coach. Coaching courses can help the coach in their development. 4 4

Entwicklung von Schützen und Trainern Was ist Coaching Entwicklung von Schützen und Trainern Time Elite Entry 0 1 2 3 4 5 Intermediate Level Athlete Coach level 1,2,3 ELITE LEVEL OF ARCHER AND COACH Pending the archery level of a country, the archers are from the Provincial, National or International calibre striving to get the best score and results and the highest number of victories as possible Very seldom the same coach looks after the archers of the level 1, 2 and 3; usually a part-time or full time professional coach looks after the elite archers. Physical and psychological development are mandatory to become an elite archers; hence the coach needs to learn how to articulate all the archer’s development in a training plan; the coach also needs to know how to implement such a plan on the shooting range 5 5

To get progressing athletes, we need progressing coaches What is coaching? To get progressing athletes, we need progressing coaches Athletes Time Elite Entry 0 1 2 3 4 5 Intermediate Level Coach level 1,2,3 THREE PROFILES OF ARCHERS AND COACHES IN ONE GRAPH Since: It takes time to build an efficient couple archer-coach Almost all archers will have to work with different coach (and reverse) it is important to build a cohesive national coaching system to: reduce the adaptation time at each change in a couple to acheive a maximum of developments during the few years an archer can dedicate to sport. Athletes have different talents and different ambitions. Coaches have to raise their level according to the archer’ s need. 6 6

Befragung vor dem Training Coaching Befragung vor dem Training Zusätzlich zu anderen Fragen wie Level, Ziele, Prüfungen Wie gut möchtest du werden? Wie viel Zeit ist dazu nötig? Wie viel Zeit kannst du aufwenden Was sind deine Stärken? Was sind Deine Schwächen? Erforsche das Profil des Schützen List of questions the coach can ask to the athlete prior their collaboration. Detect the profile of each athlete because if we consider only 2 different profiles: Hard-working athlete Competition/challenge oriented athlete The coach could ask to the hard-working athlete to shoot a while (45 minutes) eyes closed or at a blank but, while it would be a disaster with a competition oriented athlete. This latest type of persnality will shoot without anxy focuss after few minutes of such a “boring” training situation Hence we must detect the profile of each person in order to choose the way of training them Pascal COLMAIRE – FITA Development & Education Director
