He shared his experience as an elite athlete and coach but gave advice to the new graduates. Questions were raised such as "how do you help your athlete to succeed, how do you become a good coach, how do you motivate a talented athlete to perform better, how do you motivate athletes who are losing at competitions, etc."   Deqa NIAMKEY, World Archery Development & Coaching Coordinator, was also invited to attend as per the previous editions, to support and meet the archery coaches who have been given this great opportunity.   World Archery would like to congratulate Marja WOORTMAN and Meshal ALOTAIBI in their outstanding work and achievements.
