Hi, I’m Jonathan Whitson,

I’m a Level 3 NTS Coach certified through USA Archery, as a Veteran, Honor, Courage, & Commitment are the values I embraced in the United States Navy. Humility, Respect, & Community are the additional values that I believe empower Athlete’s & Coach’s to achieve their top potential.

Archery is one of the unique sports that adapts well to Athlete’s who are both self-motivated & socially driven. As a Coach, I view my role as a Navigator, to support Athlete’s as they grow their archery knowledge and surround themselves with the strength of a community. Each Athlete has an individual path they are on. The challenges faced will build character, strengthen confidence, and encourage further growth.

While there are many methods to achieve the same goal, my Coaching strategy is to focus on what’s best suited for the individual. Using SMART goals, we will embrace a growth mindset and by implementing tools we will pave a path to achieve them. Goal setting, training plans, and healthy fitness habits which are focused on your needs is the basis of these tools. It is my intention as a Coach to be “Athlete-Centered”, meaning success revolves around you, from the smallest “Ah-ha!” Moments to the Title Win’s I will be a supportive member of your Archery Community.


My Approach

The sport of archery has so much to offer and the journey can be vastly rewarding! However, like most paths it takes some navigation. I work with each Archer to create waypoints to highlight their path and build goals to give a place for that path to lead. Whether you’ve been shooting for years or are picking up a bow for the first time, we’ll find your path!

Goals

Using the SMART goals format, we’ll identify what you’re working towards early on.

Community

Colorado has a strong archery community, and it’s one I encourage every Archer to take advantage of. From range league nights to group shoots, ask us about ways to get involved!
