Childhood "STRESS"! It's real and it happens with our archers. In the past, I have often seen some of our archers who do well at practice totally flop at the tournament. Most of our kids have not been exposed to anything like they will be at the state tournament 3/14/2026.
The tournament room is HUGE. Spectator stands will be full similar to a football game. There will be over 50 archers, side by side, shooting at the same time. There will be about 20 men and woman officials whom our kids have never met before, walking about assisting them throughout their time competing, etc. Just the sight of 50 targets lined up side by side is enough to be intimidate for our youth. This is why Coach Disney and I are asking that you get inside the building early so the kids can take in what's going on and have some time to adjust and calm.
You adults are the key. YOU are their biggest support group, their biggest raving fans! This tournament is not about winning. It is about our group experiencing and facing something new. About learning a little about the sport of archery, meeting new people, and mainly to have fun!
Please talk to your kids reminding them that you are there to support them while they have fun. Please make sure they have a nutritionally-balanced breakfast.
Guide them through deep breathing, muscle relaxation, visualization, mindfulness, and positive self-talk.
Deep breathing: Take a deep breath, hold it in for about five seconds, and then release slowly and then repeat several times.
Muscle Relaxation: Contract a group of muscles tightly, hold for about five seconds, then release and repeat several times. I suggest have them roll their shoulders back, squeeze tight and hold it for five seconds.
Visualization: Visualize stance, nock, grip, hand set on bow string, draw, anchor, aim, "hold one 1 one thousand, 2 one thousand", release straight back, and follow through (lock their bow and grip out straight during and after release).
Mindfulness: Focus on the present moment instead of worrying about what might happen or dwelling on what had already happened. (do not fret over any bad shots, move on and try your best)
Positive self-talk: Use positive statements. "I am prepared for this match", "I will do my best that I am able today".
Parents please top this off with the "I love you", " I am proud of you", "Go Have Fun".
