News: Northern Counties

XXX marks the spot: Andy's back on course for Paralympic dream

It's a great result for any archer. But it means the world to Andy Berridge. Why? Because it is the first step back towards his Paralympic dream.
He was a paramedic when he suffered two eye injuries. The second cost him about 70 per cent of his sight in one eye. Then a neurological condition started to affect his legs, right hand and left arm. After years of battling the condition he arrived at the National Neurological Hospital in London only to be told there was no cure – and it was progressive.
He was forced to give up the job he loved and faced an uncertain future. He had to take back some control.
Sport was the obvious answer – and he had always quite fancied the thought of archery. So why not? He found a beginners' course at Harvester Archers in Doncaster, then started attending training weekends at the British Wheelchair Archery Organisation in Stoke Mandeville, where he had once worked.
Someone suggested that he went for a para GB assessment. He had only been shooting his compound for a few months. And he got sponsors and a grant from the Worshipful Company of Fletchers. Things could not get any better.
Then he started having pain in his left shoulder. He had not been assessed by Archery GB yet but it was no longer an option. He could barely lift his bow. He had to stop shooting and undergo surgery for sub-clavicle impingement syndrome, followed by a long and painful recovery.
In February, doctors finally said he could shoot again, provided he only trained lightly for three to six months and didn't overdo things. And instead of being a joy, it was frustrating. He could not replicate his previous form and it really began to get to him
Then he had his bow retuned by his local archery shop and, the next training evening, shot XXX.
"I was so happy," he said. "It has now inspired me to try again to achieve my main goal: getting on to the Para Archery GB team."
He is now training three to four times a week and said: "I love archery, and really hope to go as far as I can with it. I would love to represent my country, and will do everything in my power to achieve this goal. It just goes to prove that, with a bit of determination, you can get over whatever life throws at you."

Coaches get tips from the top

Northern Counties coaches gathered in County Durham to find out what it takes to win from someone who knows: Senior Olympic Coach and double Olympic medallist Richard Priestman.
Forty-three coaches heard him speak about his and Archery GB's coaching style and philosophy and what it is like to coach in different countries. There were also sessions on technique and bow training.
The session on technique included the importance of strength, fitness, lifestyle and mental aspects, all illustrated with photographs. He showed how important it is for coaches to fully understand good techniques and be able to pass them on to their individual archers.
During the bow training session he demonstrated using a bow, bands and several different devices, many of which could help archers maintain fitness levels when they are unable to shoot.
Senior Coach Helen George said: "The information he passed on to the coaches was great and very much appreciated by everyone present. His style of presenting made it so easy to understand and his ability to answer a wide variety of questions was wonderful. Knowing how busy Richard is, it was great he was able to attend the conference."
There were also presentations from County Coach and National Judge David Harrison on coaching for tournament conditions and Helen, who is also a member of the World Archery Para Committee. She spoke about the new World Archery Excellence Centre in Lausanne.
The conference, in Chester-Le-Street, was opened by Carol Byde and organised by Kath Hall and Ian Norwood.
