About this episode

Manisha interviews Joel Turner about the SHOTIQ approach to archery performance and how parents can support their archers.

In this episode of the Archery Parent Podcast, Manisha interviews Joel Turner, Archery Dad, and developer of the SHOTIQ approach to performance. Joel reveals why Archery is "just shy of impossible" and how parents can actually help their Archer develop the "ultimate skill of the human being". The discussion includes teaching work ethic, how school-based programs can lead to target panic, and why "just relax" doesn't work. Joel shares the difference between thoughts and thinking, and the one question that can refocus your Archer when things are falling apart. Joel also takes to task the many parents and mid-level coaches who overemphasize form when an Archer's thoughts become too much. Learn the speech-based “blueprint” of an Archer's process, the foundation of the SHOTIQ system. Hint: It's about getting loud in your head with the right words at the right moments. Joel also explains how to handle tournament stress and spectators, and answers a question from a listener worried about his Archer's emotional and physical changes going from the easy backyard practices to the intense tournament expectations. We talk about parent support cues and Turner Family travel tips…
