Slow X Archery Podcast

Like many people world-wide, Teresa and Nikki are getting burned out by social media so they take this opportunity to discussion it in a professional archery context.

Nikki and Teresa has a typical episode (can we say that with only 9 episodes?) where they hop from topic to topic. Starting with habit theory to controlling internal energy level (known as arousal level in Sport Psych.) Taking some time to update and discuss the update to World Archery dates for competition along with the distance tournament the Lockdown Shootout. Then we give a shout out to your local proshop and to supporting the industry.

And Introduction to Goal Setting

After of month delay caused by severe health issues and technical difficulties, Nikki and Teresa are back to talk about archery during a world wide pandemic.

Nikki Haverstock is joined by incredibly talented Compound and Recurve archer Crystal Gauvin to discuss all aspects of the Spring 2020 archery season being cancelled. Crystal shares so much wisdom about being a well rounded athlete, some of her current work as athlete rep with World Archery and USA Archery and some practical advice on how to handle social isolation. Stay safe and sane during this challenging time and thank you so much to Crystal! Such a joy to talk to.  If you want to learn more about Crystal follow her on instagram or Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/CJG.X10/

Book about concentration: Deep Work by Cal Newport

Teresa Johnson and Nikki Haverstock cover a few topics before heading into the topic of the day.  Discussing first Sarah Sonnichson's decision to step away from archery and Brady Ellison's historical 900 at Vegas.  Eventually they settle in to discuss what goes into at-home outdoor range.

Nikki Haverstock and Teresa Johnson hop from topic to topic with their eye on the how indoor and outdoor season differ.  Many people are moving from indoor tournaments to outdoors and that can pose a lot of challenges that are discussed in detail. Plus every other random idea that crosses their mind in the process.

Teresa Johnson and Nikki Haverstock spend some time catching up on their life then dive into our first themed episode.  The majority of the episode is focused on the question of sponsorship, what are some of the pitfalls, what are the benefits, and is it right for you (or your child)?  We also touch a bit on our own sponsorship or rather the lack of sponsorship and why we are happy with that decision.
