2023 USA Archery Coaches Workshop

New for 2023, the Coaches Workshop will include two sessions:

Session 1.0 August 19-20

Session 2.0 August 21

Location: Olympic Training Center, Colorado Springs, CO

Session 1.0

This two-day event will focus on developing specific coaching skills for Level 3, Level 4, and Level 5 coaches. Level 2 Instructors interested in attending may contact Director of Education, Guy Krueger at [email protected].

Session 2.0

This one-day event is designed for coaches who have previously attended the 2022 Coaches Workshop and will take a deeper dive into how to improve coaching skills.

---

The Coaches Workshop will be unique from the Virtual Symposium in that it will focus entirely on developing coaches’ skills through deliberate practice, micro-coaching sessions, and feedback.

The goal of these sessions is that each coach will leave the workshop as a better coach than when they arrived. Practice and participation will be a critical element of this workshop and USA Archery will provide a safe place for coaches to learn and grow.

The workshop will focus on developing the following skills:

• Providing different types of feedback and coaching
• How to Coach Skills
• Technical Analysis
• Cueing
• Planning Training
• Designing fun, challenging, and engaging training activities
• Creating a community of practice for coaches
