🇬🇧 Physical Development Lead for the Archery GB Paralympic and Olympic Pathway ⭐️ Developed and implemented the initial athletic development model within Archery GB for the Olympic and Paralympic Pathway ⭐️This involved creating a system that developed athletes from club and regional level to the world-class program in a sport which is so skills dominant that it did not have a culture of physical preparation. ⭐️ The model was built into the existing pathway that originally had focused on skill and technical development. To successfully build the system this involved creating a need analysis, testing battery, warm-ups for archery, exercise classification hierarchy, physical preparation philosophies and a model that strategised the incremental progression of physical performance along the pathway. ⚠️ To achieve this I: ⭐️ Delivered and led camp based physical preparation testing and sessions for the de-centralised pathway within talent development and academy programs.⭐️ Created coach education resources, presentations and workshops for archery coaches along the pathway from club coach level to academy level, this was implemented to create longevity within the athletic development model. ⭐️ Collaborated interdisciplinary with national and regional technical coaches to increase technical and physical out puts within training sessions on the line, this involved developing bow drills, skill acquisition practices and warm - ups guides for archery. ⭐️ Led regional Physical Preparation Coaches to effectively deliver the testing and delivery of the athletic development model at regional talent level to clubs and training centres. ⭐️ Adapted and built specific exercises and training philosophies for the Paralympic pathway athletes, delivered during individual sessions during training camps.⭐️ Educated athletes and coaches on topics such as nutrition, physical preparation and anti - doping in presentations and workshops.
