JOAD State tournament will be held June 28 http://www.gaarchery.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/2014_JOAD_Outdoor_Reg_Form.pdf , and training focus needs to be on tightening up form, and determining, and putting into place any equipment needed for the event.
This week the training will focus on using the strength from back muscles, steady, long, solid arm positions, with techniques to feel those muscles better so we can “engage” them, and reviewing basic steps.


Training Tip:
How do you combat the "first target in a competition" nerves, or hopefully later into the match the :"I just might win this tournament, and this shot really matters!" anxiousness?
The sight moves, your heart races, breathing may be erratic. How do you practice for this experience?
Tip from Coach Terry Wunderle: "Try running for a while to raise your pulse rate. Then pick up your bow and pretend the target you are shooting at is the first one of an important competition".

Consciously, purposely, switch your thinking back to excellent form, learning to mentally trust your form and make a strong shot. Yawn for a de-stressor.
