December 10th & 11th focus training:
               "Breath Cycle of Archery"

The correct method of breathing is an essential part of the archer's system of control. Most archers know less about the proper method of breath control than any of the other fundamentals. Therefore, the archer who understands their breathing and its impact on performance is the archer who, everything being equal, is going to be the most successful.
Bear in mind that an anxious mind cannot exist in a relaxed body or a quiet mind can not exist in a tense body.
Remember that thoughts associated with worry and anxiety, affect heart rate, muscle tension and breathing rate. This change in muscle tension and breathing rate will have a negative affect on an archer's fine motor coordination, focus, center of gravity and timing; all critical components in archery.
Therefore, breathing properly is not only relaxing; it also facilitates performance by increasing the amount of oxygen in the blood, reducing blood pressure, heart rate, resulting in a drop of anxiety. Breathing properly also carries more energy to the muscles and facilitates the removal of waste products.
