JAKARTA - The Indonesian archery team needs to forge as many capabilities as possible in international events. This is so that the Red and White athletes are not left far behind from other countries.
This was conveyed by the deputy head coach of the Indonesian archery national team, Park Younggeol. According to the South Korean coach, Indonesian archery athletes must also have the same training program as athletes from other countries, such as South Korea, China, and India.
"Don't let these countries get left behind so they can't compete," Younggeol said on the federation's official website, as reported by Antara.
"We have to increase our shooting training, also improve the mentality of competing athletes. That's the only way so we don't miss it," he continued.
He also revealed that Indonesian archery athletes are still difficult to compete in the quarter-finals, semifinals, to finals in a tournament, because they have absolutely no experience to get to that stage.
"Indeed, competing to win medals is still difficult because Indonesia itself has not often entered the semifinals or finals during competitions compared to other countries," he said.

"So, there is always a burden on the shoulders of the athletes and it becomes a separate pressure to be able to present the best. This must be prepared in training," continued Younggeol.
Younggeol's statement refers to the results in an international tournament attended by the Red and White archer starting from the World Cup Stage 1 in Turkey on April 18-23, the World Cup Stage 2 in Shanghai on May 16-21, and the Asia Cup Stage 3 in Singapore on June 5-10.
The highest achievement of Indonesian athletes was to rank fourth in the recurve mixed team at the World Cup Stage 2 in Shanghai, while for the Asia Cup it was stopped in the quarter-finals.
The problem of firing accuracy is considered a major challenge when athletes enter a crucial situation that demands high concentration and mentality to be able to go further into the next round until they win medals.
