Testimonials

it was an amazing course i really liked it y i enjoyed it a lot, the instructor was always really clear and i could understand him perfectly.

Great instruction. Quality teaching techniques with such a range of styles. Great use of stories with a laid back professional approach. It’s been a pleasure being taught by Dave.

The last two days I’ve been doing something that I’ve always dreamed to do: Archery! I never imagined I would be able to do archery like that, but with the easy explanations of our instructor Dave, it was easy, understandable and fun! I had a great time in the two days of archery instruction, I could even repeat the course again.

Dave is a highly qualified and competent archery instructor, offering an engaging and thorough blend of theory and practical skills to instruct others to become instructors.
Can’t recommend highly enough!

Thank you so much Dave for a really lovely training weekend! We had a lovely time and learnt a lot and now have the confidence to lead sessions.

Fantastic course, loved every minute.
Dave made the course fun and involved everyone.
Such a pleasure in meeting him.
Thank you

This was a rapid introduction to archery for me, having never fired an arrow. I learned to hit the target under Dave’s expert tuition very quickly, and then the focus shifted to a highly structured and routine style of instructing, which has been proven since to be a robust and safe.
We work with children with additional needs, and Dave’s course has been invaluable in helping these guys to follow rule-based learning, have positive experiences and gain a genuine sense of success. The course goes beyond instructing, and we learned to set up a range (we built our own outdoor archery range with what we learned), and we learned all about the equipment needed to run sessions. Archery is now a big part of our work thanks to Dave’s effective course.

I absolutely loved this archery training course! Dave is an excellent instructor who explains everything so clearly and has a lots of of patience. He walked us through the whole process and gave us some great tips for our own students. You’ll get so much out of this course. I highly recommend it.

The course is really good, the instructor is very patient and always willing to help.
It’s very fun and dynamic, I had a great time

I recently attended the ArcheryGB Instructor course facilitated by Aim4Sport. Dave was very professional, and at the same time made me feel very relaxed. The course was well-paced and to the point. I thought that I got exactly what I needed from it and came away feeling very confident in what I had learned. The course workbook/textbook was a great addition very well laid out, and answers all the questions you might have. Dave tailored the course to fit the group dynamic and is clearly passionate about what he does. Overall, I was very pleased and would not hesitate to recommend it to others.

Despite the weather Dave made sure everyone had a fantastic time. Full of witty comments, he made everyone feel at ease and able to learn. Happy to answer all the silly questions and ensure everyone understood everything.
Thankyou!

This was an amazing course ran by Dave. The two days flew by as we had so much fun relearning the ways of Archery!
It was a little nerve racking at first but Dave was amazing at breaking the ice and getting us all comfortable with eachother. His feedback was friendly, clear and helpful.
We learnt proper archery procedures, new terminology, fun games and so much more.
Highly recommend this course for people beginning their archery teaching journey as well as for instructors to really improve their sessions!

2 day archery instructor course was great! Had a lovely time and a qualification as well. Our coach Dave was incredible and made it worth while and enjoyable to become an archery instructor!

Dave is a brilliant coach. It’s a really hard balance to teach the teacher but he excelled and tailored the course for us and our specific use cases in the cadet environment. Thank you for an excellent weekend and a lot of laughs along the way.

I loved the curse because Dave makes it really fun to learn and even easy, I learned to also focus on the good stuff while improving.

Thanks to Dave for a great weekend instructors training! I really enjoyed the sessions and am very happy to have qualified!

I recently completed the two-day Archery GB Instructor Course with Dave Leader, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. Dave made the course both fun and informative, combining clear instruction with hands-on practice. His emphasis on safety and proper technique was outstanding, and he created a relaxed, engaging environment that made learning easy and enjoyable. I left feeling confident and well-prepared to instruct others — a true credit to Dave’s knowledge and teaching style.

Just wanted to send a BIG thank you for a great course on Tuesday & Wednesday. It was a really fun couple of days, and I felt that you have the perfect balance of knowing when to keep it light and humorous, and when to be focused on the safety and the task at hand. It was a great training, and I am genuinely so inspired to continue to develop my instructing skills and to keep diving into this industry.

Great course would highly recommend

I joined the Archery GB instructor course led by Dave and his company Aim4Sport, and it truly became one of the best experiences of my life.

Dave is such a wonderful person – so empathetic and kind. He understands people deeply, in every moment. His belief in others and the potential within each of us was incredible. With just his words, empathy and encouragement, he manages to bring out the very best in me.

The knowledge and support I received during the course will stay with me forever. I’ve never felt so encouraged or so believed in by any other instructor. Thanks to Dave, I now feel ready to keep growing and to inspire others along the way.

I learned a lot of new and interesting things and above all to provide security to everyone. I generate security with myself too and feel able to lead a session. Having fun and teaching.

Very well presented, very relaxed and enjoyable.
I would highly recommend using them if you are.concidering running archery sessions.
Big plus – you get to shoot loads of arrows…

The two-day course my team and I undertook was nothing short of exceptional. The training we were given was highly educational and engaging, not to mention very fun as well! I can happily say that I am more than comfortable enough to lead groups of my own in an archery session thanks to the training aim4sport has provided me with.

Great course that went into appropriate depth! A range of topics that caused great discussion!
Dave is very knowledgeable and likeable who is friendly and approachable and answers questions with knowledge and passion

Had a fun time training with the team to become archery instructors. Went through the course at a reasonable pace that everyone understood, we learned how to lead groups of different abilities and for a context that was specific to our work.

Dave was a nice and patience teacher he made sure that we learn everything that we needed to lead a session.
I had an amazing and fun time and before I took this course I didn’t know anything about archery and now I am predatory confident of what I’m doing.

Great course! Organising this was very easy, Dave was very helpful and always at the other end of the phone.
We loved the jokes, banter and endless amount of information.
Lots of fun, thank you again!

Absolutely Cracking Course, Well Worth the 2 days for the course!
If you get the chance you should definitely do the course! Thanks Dave!

It was amazing, I really like how the instructor has teaching us, and how he demonstrate all his knowledge to us, I really like the book he gave to us, it was full of important information of how to do archery, they show us you a page that has games, that we play some of the games were very nice.

The course was excellent throughout, the camp, the range and the quality are of the teaching, great G4 support as well, even the weather conditions complied. Many thanks.

Thank you for a wonderful course Dave! Took a lot away from the archery instructor training course over the past two days.
Great humour!
