Challenges for the Coaches
Have to work around other members
Mainly fixing equipment issues
Or fixing form problems
Often time taken up with endless beginners courses
Too many social archers after instant solutions
Un-realistic expectations of coaching
Macho archers with high draw weight.
Tim’s top “hates”(as a club coach)
I have bought this bow on ebay
Can you set it up? It is only 10 years old
I am missing the target so I will shoot barebow
My bow is too powerful to shoot closer than 50 metres
Oh dear you have made me miss
What do you mean draw to my chin
I have bought a bow little Johnnie can grow into
Agincourt!
Coaching Targets for AGB
1 coach per 4 archers

Coach Numbers
Reasons
Coach numbers included inactive coaches
Coaching population ageing and retiring
Stopped training coaches whilst L2 course developed – 2 year gap.
New L2 course slowed down and reduced pass rate – now fixed
Requirement to renew every 3 years caused resignations
Insistence on CPD
Child protection rules in GBR
Way Forward
Believe we are at low point and now climbing
Easier process to renew license
CPD un coupled from coach renewal process
L2 course now fixed – but need to promote more courses
Appointment of Regional Development Employees
Training and development of County Coaching Organisers
Child protection rules will hopefully be relaxed
Thank you…
