- How different are the mental thoughts or processes between club level archers and elite level archers? The answer may surprise you! People say that archery at a high level is more mental than physical and most people only train their technique.... Why is this?

Thanks, Jake... I think we all think we can be elite, but kid ourselves the top level archers have some kind of elusive gifted magic, but don't fully appreciate the hard work, determination, purpose and application that it takes to make the magic happen. Achievement doesn't come by taking the easy road, and archery is a testing one at the best of times!
The idea of a control to confidence ratio is a game-changer. Thanks!
Wow, great timing Jake. I only literally got through reading that book “with winning in mind” by Bassham a couple of weeks back. I’ve implemented the stuff into my archery and am seeing some tangible improvements. Cheers.
Keeping your head in the game, professional
Keep this kinda comment coming! The mental game is so important! Thank you!
Thanks, Jake. Awesome, detailed info.
Thanks Jake for the great video🙏 There is so much info inside, really appreciate it💪
its odd im a forklift driver and to be efficient and fast i tell ever new hire or trainee to focus on doing the exact same thing every time... glad to finally understand something in Archery lol... thanks jake i feel like ive skipped months of trial and error by finding these videos
Thank you. I appreciate you providing Specific examples. That's much more helpful than just generalizations alone.
I just concentrate on my follow through after my set up. It usually works out in the end for me.
My goal: have fun getting better, w/o mechanical add ons (no clicker)..........Good information, too much information, at the moment of execution? My 'mantra' at full draw.."anchor, focus, pull though' in a one two three sequence.
Thanks for the clarity on mental process. One question. Is the front shoulder kept down in its natural position or does it get rotated back and down then held?
Things I think of during the shot.Did I rip a hole in the back of my pants and not know it?Do those sox I have on really match?Is my auto warranty up to date?I better call that one back.As always great vids helping archers!
This has been a really interesting watch, and given me a couple of good pointers as to how to empty my mind. But do you have any advice for not reaching anchor? Basically, I have no issues with draw or anchor as long as the arrow isn't in play, but when the arrow is on the string I can't seem to get back to anchor. It is infuriating by the end of practice, because i know i can do it and nothing is supposed to change. I am trying to find out if i am doing something different physically, but I am afraid it's all between the ears. And I have had many pep talks with myself and from others.
Jake, how much weight on average do high level archers carry on their recurves? Talking about stabilizer weights. Thanks in advance.
The goal of the mental game is to get the mental game out of it, and to get everything else out of your head. Your shooting is based on your processes, you want your mental game to keep your processes working, and you want your mental game to keep anything that would affect your processes to be out of your head. Needless to say you have to have enough training to refine you processes and make your processes work. If you are trying to aim and having trouble pulling through the clicker, thinking about this will sabotage your concentration and your processes. It takes a lot of training to get to the point where the strength and the processes work. It takes tournament experience to be able to get that anxiety out of your brain.
Hi Jake, great video as always. What are the yellow objects behind you on your bench?

As a club level archer I just think about trying to do each step in the shot process the same and correctly. I don't worry about scores, I find if I start looking at my totals and how that's tracking for my PB at that distance or shoot type I put too much pressure on myself. I had something interesting happen on the weekend, my first scoring arrow at 70m for a 108 arrow shoot felt like a really good shot. I looked down the scope and I could see that I'd hit the spider. I felt elation at what was essentially a perfect shot and then deflated because doubt crept in that that was going to be my best shot all day.
So reading this gives me this thought;
Why not chase that feeling every time? What prevents you from pushing towards that shot each shot, but on its own. The previous arrow has no bearing on the next or the previous. Each is its’ own and must be treated with the same process or care. Otherwise that shot may very well be the best of the day.
Or Is the string aligned using the bow hand fingers? How is the string aligned during string alignment?
Jake. Can you make a video on how to adjust the bow hand for string alignment?
