Archery is a sport of stillness in motion — where every shot is the sum of your training, focus, and ability to shut out everything else. The difference between gold and going home isn’t your bow or your draw weight. It’s your mind.
The Xcelerate Psychological Skills Profile (PSP™) pinpoints exactly how you perform under pressure, recover after a miss, and stay locked in when the competition is tight. Whether you’re aiming for a podium finish or your next personal best, PSP™ gives you the mental edge to hit your mark every time.
Precision Starts in the Mind
Master Focus. Control the Moment.
STEADY HANDS.
STEEL MIND.
Perfect form can win an end.
Mental fortitude can win a tournament.
The best archers don’t just execute a flawless shot — they repeat it, under shifting wind, tight time limits, and the pressure of knowing one slip can end it all.
The Psychological Skills Profile (PSP™) measures what the scorecard doesn’t: your ability to reset between shots, manage your heartbeat in the final round, and stay mentally sharp from the first arrow to the last. These are the traits that turn technical skill into consistent victory.

Persistence
