Oldair Zamora Lira, former high-performance archer and current instructor of the state archery team, commented that the way of training has changed and not so much in a positive way, pointing out that before, “the coach had the last word, Today, it is not like that,” he says, it is something that is reflected in many sports.

In an interview for El Sol de Hidalgo, Zamora Lira shared that as with many things in life, times have changed and this has not been foreign to those in charge of training high-performance athletes.

“Although there are stages in which athletes from the female and male branches go through changes from puberty to adolescence and from the latter to youth, we know that this transition is complicated, especially in these times when it is no longer the case. Same thing, before the last word was the coach, now no, it’s not like that, we have to adapt, if you don’t adapt, you die.

“I have seen this in many sports, as a coach you already have to take great care of other things that are not consistent with training, high performance training is heavy, strong, demanding, it is pure discipline, and currently disciplining an athlete is You may get into trouble, it’s the small line where we have a bit of a problem, but we have to adapt.”

On the other hand, almost four months after having participated in the Conade National Games, he commented that the state archery team made changes in its way of working in terms of training, in the physical part and in nutrition, this to try to forget the “sad participation” of the entity in said scenario in which it returned without a single podium.

Regarding this, he shared that there were some people who did not accept the new way of working; However, they continue with their training on a daily basis and for those who do, they have expressed their support for the AHTA Archery to those who have said that they do not want to go through something similar again, which they accepted, they were obliged to participate in the competition. , “it is impossible for us to give results if we do the same thing every year, that is why now we do things completely different.”
