Archery concerns need addressing 6:57pm on 04 Sep 2008 for the record of my last post, the youth system is good already, but could still be far better

more could be done for the less mainstream events for sure
Archery concerns need addressing 6:54pm on 04 Sep 2008 Its pretty clear that everyone needs a swift kick up the backside, there is no use blaming the coach over and over, then changing your mind soon afterwards!

Peter is a smashing coach, there is no questioning that, what needs to be done is to sit down all of the GB archers and get a perspective on what they can achieve, instead of aiming into the clouds like us british people always do

Now im an archer myself, and im aiming at this level for 2012, personally id love to see archery become bigger in britian, but we need to put more into the youth system than we do, not only that, we need to slap the current team about a bit, where is this so called do or die mentality? if you was as true as you say about representing your country, you would have that attitude already, take phillip in the triple jump? not happy with silver? thats a man who wanted to give the best possible for his country

Blaming your coach is NOT the way to dodge the mistakes youve made...

now im not trying to just moan, all im saying is to improve the methods of which youngsters get into archery, as there are plenty of great junior archers in britian, and to seriously hit the current team hard, some may be determined, but some clearly are not, and this example should never happen in a country thats about to host the olympics
