1. Practice with your buddies including your competitors. Have you noticed that in Tennis DOUBLES, a lot of the DOUBLES teammate (of different geographical background) do train with each other, and they may eventually still compete against each other in the SINGLES? Therefore, practice with the best so that you can horn your skills with each other. Of course, in training with one anther, both parties can understand from each other and also about each other's strengths and weaknesses, which is a price to pay. If you are not the better (or best), you stand to benefit significantly. If you are the best, it will give you a morale boost.

2. Master the art of visualization, as this is very important. Archery is not a game against the clock. Practice extensively in training so that it can be easily adopted during competition. Hence when you are in competition, you can quickly engage the visualization skills you have been gotten during training and employ the techniques under competition situations.

3. Aim to win, pardon the pun. That should be the only thing driving you, not just in the competition proper but also during training. Of course we all want to enjoy ourselves during training but draw a line between leisure and real training. Also, during competition, even if you have been placed last and have lost, maintain always an attitude for winning. Leave the competition feeling like a winner. This will see you desire for the real win. Always remember that there will always be a champion even if there are a million competitors. Strive to be that champion.
