COACH TRAINING SEMINAR
with National Head Coach - Kisik Lee 

Kisik Lee and Tom Parrish will present BEST mini-seminars at the Arizona Cup and the Texas Shootout, a more in-depth seminar in Colorado Springs and at Lancaster Archery in Pennsylvania. 

What: This seminar is part of the USA Archery High Performance Program and is the first in a series of coach training seminars designed and presented by National Head Coach, Kisik Lee, in an effort to train coaches around the country. The training will focus on the BEST Shot Technique (Coach Lee’s system), Sports Science for archery and effective coaching methods.

Why: 1) To train USA Archery Coaches in Coach Lee’s system.
2) From this and future seminars, Coach Lee, hopes to identify a set of Regional High Performance Coaches. These coaches must be available for periodic one-on-one training with Coach Lee at the OTC in Chula Vista, CA and once trained will act as the High Performance Coaches in their home region. 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.

When: March 30 – April 2, 2006
Where: Olympic Training Center, Colorado Springs, CO

He has many proven ways to work with archers and loves to share his coaching techniques. Coaches who attended Coach Kim's seminar in Chula Vista last year were extremely enthusiastic, and several US coaches who attended Kim's school in Korea were also duly impressed! You must take advantage of this opportunity while he is here.    There will be a three to four day clinic at the Morristown/Beard School in Morristown, NJ on Friday, March 17 through Monday, March 20! We need a reply from you by email ASAP so we  can plan accordingly.

Washington's headquarters) if you are not interested in the coaching clinic, but want to attend more than one day of shooting.   We are asking the NAA to make this a Level 3 and 4 recertification course.   There will also be a Level 2 Instructor course if there are 6 or more interested coaches, finishing on Monday morning(?).
