In sixteen archers from the West Java regional squad, measured on only three skills, concentration reaches 68.3 per cent of the possible score, in the band the authors call poor, below anxiety control (74.4) and mental preparation (72.3); from one question to the next, though, it ranges from 60 to 85 per cent, so the weak spot is not uniform. In eleven elite Turkish archers, measured on twelve skills, focusing itself comes ninth, at 19.6 on a scale that goes up to 28: in the lower half, but not at the bottom. The bottom places go to refocusing after a distraction, at 13.1, and competition planning, while commitment and self-confidence are at the top. A third sample, thirty-two young Malaysians in a journal of questionable standing, puts concentration mid-table, with coachability and peaking under pressure lowest. These are all skills the archers rate themselves, in tiny groups, and no study compares them with other sports: in one group concentration is the lowest skill, in another it is the ability to get it back, and we do not know whether archers are especially weak there.claim:concentrazione-abilita-piu-debole:revision:2026-04-04:2Sat, 04 Apr 2026 08:00:00 GMT https://matteocampagna.com/en/registry/mind/concentration-weakest-mental-skillclaim:concentrazione-abilita-piu-debole:new_claim:2026-03-11:contestatoWed, 11 Mar 2026 08:00:00 GMT
