The Emotional/Spirit of Archers

The Emotional/Spirit of Archers

When it comes down to it ,archery is not a test of man's physical courageousness.it is test of man's heart.

it is with in man's power to recieve victory of defeat,to desplay courage or timidity.

picup a bow and hit a mark his physical skill is not adequate to create much anxiety.the archers desire's to shoot well that is his limiting factor. archery is a task of conquer devil.

In all sports and for the matter ,any passion,one must learn the heart of controlling the swells of the heart to achive skill status. in archery particular,repetition and stopping make the continual battle the athlete must fight with his heart  unlike that of any other sports,when an archer waiting to begins his gold medal match just walk to the line when the buzzer sound.adrenaline only make his hand shake more and thus he avoids any thought that would take him down such a path excitement is his enemy. in the moment fight instinct ,he must do neither.

   He must stand in place, gently and carefully draw back and shoot an arrows ,the last arrow to win the match feels real harder than the first tens.the great strength resides in the act of shooting.the archer shoot to make his physical expression beautiful is very diffrent from the archer who shoot to hit center of the target
Psychology talks about the different between process based and outcome based  thought .process based thought focus on the action that will produce the result outcome based thought focus on the result  using excitement and desire to create performance.
Fear drives all of the failures in archery.
archer must stands facing his target there are no respites from consideration.despite feelings of fear,lack of comfort and both success and failure, the only thing the archer can do is shoot his arrow.he must shoot his arrow as he has practiced it a thousand time unthinking, strong and confidant, a true expression of his heart.

I would like to thanks to
