What does an archery coach do?
As an Archery Australia coach, you’ll help archers develop safe, consistent technique while building their strength, focus, and confidence. You’ll guide equipment setup and maintenance, adapt training to suit individual needs, and prepare archers for competitions. Along the way, you’ll shape your own coaching style, creating a supportive and motivating environment where archers of all levels can improve, connect, and enjoy the sport. Coaching lets you share your passion, grow your own skills, and play a vital role in shaping the future of archery.
What are the benefits of being an archery coach?
Becoming an Archery Australia coach lets you teach and inspire others while sharing your knowledge and love of the sport. You’ll enjoy the satisfaction of seeing archers reach goals they once thought were out of reach, all while developing your own leadership, communication, and mentoring skills.
Coaching deepens your technical expertise, builds strong social connections within the archery community, and gives you the chance to positively influence personal growth, sportsmanship, and goal-setting. It’s a hands-on, rewarding way to stay involved in the sport as you move through your accreditation process which creates opportunities to take part in events, competitions, and ongoing professional development.
