Disclosure 1. I am in no way an expert on compound archery, so if that is what you are looking for, I will try to coordinate to have someone assist me.
Disclosure 2. I begin chemotherapy on Jan 17th, these classes are scheduled with a positive attitude and by the grace of God I will try to be up for them.

LEVEL III-NTS

Level 3-NTS Coaching Certification/Education course will be held the weekend of February 7, 8, & 9, 2014 in the North Austin/Cedar Park area.

This course will be conducted by American Archers Level IV-NTS coach Ron Carmichael and Level III-NTS coach Lindsey Carmichael.

The course fee is $350 and includes course manual and building use fees. In addition each candidate must have a copy of the book "Archery" by USA Archery.

LEVEL III candidates must have been practicing, active, Level II for one year, or else be able to "pass out" of an extensive examination and be able to show a 3-year history of active archery instruction. A Level III Coaching Course will be held on a 3-day weekend with substantial pre-study homework assigned (involving primarily the Archery book mentioned above).

 MORE:
The USA Archery Level III-NTS coaching certification course is based on specific criteria.  No one can acquire a level III-NTS level without demonstrating a complete command of the elements of the National Training System.  This will NOT be a typical 3-day cram-it-all-in-and-wonder course. You will have a great working knowledge that will serve you well.
Candidates will NOT be guaranteed a coaching certificate just by showing up and passing the written test. A comprehensive and practical verbal test on the NTS will also be a part of this course. By the end of the course you should be prepared to "stand and deliver" a complete and thorough summary of the NTS method, and be able to correctly identify and remediate flaws.
There is extensive pre-course preparation required,  "homework" like you may never have experienced for any other coaching or instructor course.  
I propose to begin your learning course early, over a period of at least a month, instead of all during one weekend.  The 3-day meeting weekend will be a CONFIRMATION and a REINFORCEMENT for what you should acquire during that month of study.  For example, if you show up on Friday without knowing what the elements are of the NTS, then you will have a harder time passing the course. 
The course will also deal with the many differences between being an instructor and being a coach. The course will include actual shooting only to the point of establishing your ability to utilize the NTS yourself, and to teach it to others. This is a coaching course, not a shooting seminar.
AGAIN: HOW do you prepare properly to be an NTS-qualified coach?
Buy a copy of USA Archery's ARCHERY magazine (Amazon has it).  STUDY it like it is the most important textbook you have ever had in school.  USE a highlighter.  Begin employing what you glean from the book in your own shooting method as much as possible.

If you cannot know for sure what the relevant things in the book are, you need to assume that *every* sentence in the book concerning the NTS has some impact to being a better NTS coach.  

 

If you are still interested in this course, please email me (Ron) to let me know. The course may fill up at some point, so please pencil yourself in asap. Payment will not be required until January 15, at which time the registration will be closed and course materials will be ordered. <hint> BUY THE BOOK NOW even if you do not plan to attend the course, and start working through it, line by line.



Thanks, Ron

She is well versed in the National Training System (NTS) method of bow shooting and together with Level 4 Coach Ron Carmichael, conducts private one-on-one archery classes in the North Austin/Leander/Cedar Park/Lago Vista area.

The CCC is designed to teach basic archery coaching skills above and beyond the "instructing" type of certification. If you want to be a better coach to yourself or to your archers, this course will give you the tools.

While instructors insure safety and can teach the basics of archery, coaches are also capably responsible for the overall development of an individual or groups of archers into a more complete and competitive athlete(s).

This Community Coaching Certification Course focuses on Level 2, Intermediate Instructors who are looking to advance their knowledge and techniques to the higher level required to attain this higher level of competency. Certified Community Coaches will also be able to train/certify Intermediate Instructors.

In general you will receive instruction according to a designated course curriculum. Generally, the topics we will cover in this course include:

Introduction and Coaching Challenges, the Philosophy of "coaching"

  • Coaching Philosophies in depth, defining and understanding goals well enough to set them appropriately
  • Mental Aspects of Archery, especially dealing with the Archery Shot Execution - the shot cycle
  • Periodization and creating effective and customized training cycles - Athletic Training Cycles
  • Goal Setting & Acquiring - Reaching Each Goal
  • Preparing for Competition
  • Equipment Selection  & Preparation
  • Training Intermediate Instructors
  • Resources Online, Nutrition, Medication and Drug Knowledge, and other aspects, bringing them all together
  • The course fee is $250.00 and includes extensive support as well as digital and print materials.
    Class size is limited to no more than 12, insuring an excellent ratio for student-teacher.

Please contact Ron Carmichael at 512-797-4127 (cell) for more information, as soon as possible, or write using the email address at the top paragraph of the page...

This is a very intensively satisfying way to gain a lot of information quickly, which can greatly improve your abilities as both an archer and as an archery coach, taught in a classroom setting with two very highly qualified archery coach instructors.

It will held in the Anna Hiss Gym on the UT Campus. Registrants will be sent a map with their confirmation, and will also get instructions on how to submit their background check information which is required by USA Archery for all elite coaches.  This background check is simple, straightforward, inexpensive, and absolutely required.

Course Schedule:

Friday, 4pm to 8pm
Saturday, 9am to 7pm with appropriate breaks (again, we may use more time, for example, over dinner at a nearby restaurant)
Sunday, 9am to approximately 5pm - we will take longer if necessary to insure success.

All Materials will be provided.

Your Teachers:

Level 3 coach Lindsey Carmichael became the first American woman in 34 years to achieve a medal for Team USA in Beijing, in singles competition, when she shot the highest recurve matchplay score of the day in winning bronze. She also set a world record and several paralympian records in Athens in the 2004 games. She is a veteran of many state, national, and international events, having competed as both an able-bodied and paralympian level archer, several years an All-American as well as Academic All-American, and member of the US Archery Team from 2004 through 2008. Her highest able-bodied ranking in USA was 8th, and 4th in the world as a paralympian.

Regional High Performance Coach/level 4 coach Ron Carmichael has been a coach for more than 11 years, has a firm grounding in the National Training System, as a pharmacist an equally firm grasp of additional topics concerning nutrition, supplementation, and USADA compliance aspects, and has coached at the University of A for 7 years. He was team leader for the USA Collegiate Team championship team to the World University Archery Championships in Shenzhen, China in 2010, as a member of the International Training Staff was assistant team leader to the first stage of the World Cup 2009 in the Dominican Republic.  He coached the first American woman to medal in singles archery competition in 34 years for Team USA, during the Beijing Paralympics. He is one of only two archery coaches ever to have been awarded the IKKOS medal by the USOC for excellence in archery coaching. He is also an expert in the use of photography as a coaching tool.

Together these two coaches will insure you are completely prepared for dealing with the advanced nature of not just instructing, but truly coaching, athletes.

Level 1 Instructor (formerly Basic) A Level 1 Instructor is most closely associated with a "grassroots" program that is short-term in scope and focused on introducing basic archery skills to beginners. It is also highly appropriate for parents of young archers showing potential and interest in growth in the sport. Being a level I instructor/parent will help avoid pitfalls and deadends, and insure wise decision-making processes. Also a level I helps those involved with such programs as camps, Scouting, 4-H, and Parks and Recreation....

  • Course content: Range safety, range set-up, basic equipment setup and repair, and how to teach the basic steps of shooting.
  • Length of Course: 10 hours
  • Prerequisites**: Minimum age: 15
  • Course Cost: Certification fee plus instructor fees - $100 includes all course materials.
  • Certification period: Three years
  • Any Level 1 Instructor who wants individual insurance coverage will need to become a member of USA Archery and complete a background check (ed. note: the American Archers membership is highly recommended but not required)

Level II Courses build upon the level I, and greatly enhance the knowledgeset of the instructor.

To express interest in these courses send an email to UTArcheryCoach with "CERTIFICATION" as the subject of the email. Please include your name, phone number, DOB, the course level desired, and of course, email address, and a brief description of your archery background. It's not a committment to attend, just a "hey, I am seriously interested". Those that take the Level I will be eligible to take the Level II course in November, as will anyone having had the level I within the last 3 years. Cost for Level II includes course materials and is $150. Date is fairly definite as November 3rd, 8am to 6pm and Nov. 4th 9am to 1pm.

LEVEL III candidates must have been a practicing, active, Level II for one year, or else be able to "pass out" of an extensive examination and be able to show a 3-year history of active archery instruction. A Level III Coaching Course will be held on a 2-day weekend in the last part of November/first few weeks of December. Exact date is still pending. Those who take the Level II AND have already been teaching archery for 3 years will be eligible and capable of taking the Level III. Cost for the Level III will be $250 and includes all materials.

COMMUNITY COACHING CERTIFICATION COURSE (CCC)

The instructor course teaches the fundamentals designed to insure a basic knowledge and level of safety and how to teach these to others..

The prerequisites are that you have to be a Intermediate Instructor for one year (NASP BAIT’s also qualify) or a Basic Instructor for two years and be able to pass the “test-in” test (NAST BAI’s also qualify).

The CCC goes to a higher plain of awareness, beginning the process of converting the instructor into an actual "coach".

To me, the title of "coach"is an honorific as well as several other things - to be worthy of such takes a dedication to learning more than just how to teach to hold a bow. When done properly, a "coach" is no less significant than "doctor", "minister", etc...

It also goes to how you nurture and provide the athlete with a philosophy, your philosophy as well as expertise, integrated deeply with their goals which they do not even know they have. Being a "COACH" is a tremendous honor and responsibility. If you take this CCC with me I will give you the right start to becoming a coach.

I finally took the plunge into the digital age and started a website for myself!

I have been coaching for a long time and I wanted a way to reach out to the archery community. Please feel free to look around and explore. For those archers looking for a coach, look no further! I am fully qualified to teach Recurve, Compound, Traditional, Long Bow and pretty much any other discipline you can throw at me. I have taught archers from beginner to World and Olympic team members. Take a look at my Current link to see some of the archers I have been coaching. I live in a quiet town in Missouri where I have a fully equipped Training Facility that allows for shooting throughout the year. If you are interested in learning how to shoot please see my Contact page and get back to me however you see fit. Thanks for stopping by! Larry Skinner, Coach

The participants will stand and mentally shoot two ends at their home range (vividly visualizing and feel their shots, the wind, the sun, the smells, everything) Have them write out a shot sequence.    NADA 25145 NW 8th Pl, Suite 60 Newberry, FL 32669 352-472-2388 352-472-2375 FAX www.teacharchery, org pat@teacharchery.org

The go archery! ProgramThe go archery! ™  program was developed to promote archery recreation classes throughout the country.  It’s divided into a series of 1 hour classes that can conducted daily, or spread over a series of weeks.  To ensure a prosperous growth for the sport of archery, the go archery! ™  program is designed to provide archery instructors with class schedules, and business plans should they choose to facilitate this program in area recreation centers or other portable venues.  Either as a volunteer instructor, or as paid facilitator, go archery! can be instrumental in providing a consistent training method for teaching new archers form and execution.  Teaching archery can be a very rewarding occupation.  The first chapter helps you get a go archery! recreation class started. The go archery! Instruction Method go archery! ™  was developed to address the need to find a better way to teach new archers in the United States.  Every new archer should learn good foundation skills in their early weeks of training so they could enjoy a lifetime participating in the sport of archery.Archery is taught in the United States as well as in other successful countries, such as Korea.  In Korea, kids who are enrolled in archery programs start by practicing three hours per day, six days per week.  For the first three to six months they don’t even shoot a bow.  They only go through the motions, or drills.  The kids learn to shoot first without a bow, and then slowly work in to shooting arrows only after they have perfected the drills. In the United States, we tend take the other extreme.  To keep the kids interested and attract them to the sport of archery, we put a bow in their hands right away and get them shooting as quickly as possible.  There are not very many kids in the United States that would stick with archery if they had to go through the Korean system.  There are just too many other sports or activities competing for their time.The go archery! ™  method of instruction utilizes proven Korean methods merged with American reality.  We offer the drills and skills for archers to learn and practice at home.  Those that are really interested in learning proper shooting technique will now have the tools to learn proper shooting form if they want to put in the effort. go archery! ™  puts a strong emphasis on keeping the student focused on their form and the process of shooting the shot, rather than the outcome and score.  It is important to repeat this to your students as they progress, especially when you first put up a target face or introduce an aiming method.  This focus on form and execution can help them enjoy a lifelong career in the sport of archery, regardless of which style of the sport they may follow. go archery!  Drills and SkillsThe foundation of the go archery! ™  program is the Drills & Skills booklet.  This booklet is intended as a handout or student manual for everyone in your recreation classes.  It contains their sign-off sheet so they can be rewarded as they progress through the each drill and skill.  Each page contains a detailed description of the drill or skill to be learned, along with colorful photos showing the correct technique.  Every student knows what is expected of them before the drill or skill can be signed off as accomplished.The go archery! curriculum is designed to provide better instruction for those who are new to the sport of archery.  The Drills & Skills are taught in a progression so students learn proper shooting technique before bad habits are learned.  The go archery! ™  lessons plans help the instructor introduce each shooting drill and skill in an organized format.  Each class also follows a similar format, creating good practice habits for your new archery students.  Chapter 6 discusses these plans in detail.Another great feature of the go archery! ™  method is accountability.  The signing off on the successful learning and mastering of shooting drills and skills makes the Instructor accountable to the archer and the archer accountable to the instructor.  The drills and skills must be learned correctly before the students can be signed off.  As the instructor, it is important that you make sure the student has learned or mastered these skills before you sign off in their book.  They must perform the drills or skills perfectly and consistently.  This way they will know when the need to continue working on the drill or skill and what they need to do to accomplish the task.  Chapter 9 explains each drill and skill along with information on how to teach and evaluate the skills. go archery!™ is a trademark of NADA.  For further program information, or questions about the go archery!™  website, contact NADA.

They will be responsible for conducting seminars and helping train other coaches and athletes within their home region, as well as being the liaison between Coach Lee and the people in their region. Coach Lee is looking for people who are willing and able to commit to the High Performance Program; people who are dedicated, enthusiastic, open minded, energetic, knowledgeable of recurve archery shooting (it’s a bonus if you can competently demonstrate proper technique), and have a good understanding of sport science.
