Nearly all of them use the internet, 90.3% for their coaching before the pandemic, and they turn mainly to governing body channels and YouTube; 61.7% rate online resources at least moderately useful. Use stops halfway, though: only 51.9% say they always apply what they find, and just 21.9% go online for it every week. The interviews explain why. Coaches prefer to learn from other coaches, in person, and treat the internet as a store of things already learned, to be looked up when needed, or as a source of videos to show their archers; they judge what they read against their own experience, feel swamped by the amount of material and doubt its accuracy. The exception is the most experienced and best qualified, who also use it to fill gaps, looking to other sports as well: for them the internet is also a way to learn, which is why the study points both ways. During the lockdowns use did not rise but fell, to 78.6%. The limits weigh heavily: 63 responses out of 1,959 registered coaches, about 3%, self-selected and with the higher coaching levels over-represented; six interviews with people partly close to the author; and a thesis that has not been through a journal's peer review. Nobody has measured what coaches actually learn, or whether their work with archers changes.claim:allenatori-internet-apprendimento:revision:2026-10-13:2Tue, 13 Oct 2026 08:00:00 GMT https://matteocampagna.com/en/registry/technique/archery-coaches-internet-learningclaim:allenatori-internet-apprendimento:new_claim:2026-09-09:contestatoWed, 09 Sep 2026 08:00:00 GMT
