Sophia Elder
Archer | Coach | Champion | Dedicated
I’m an archer and coach based in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories.
This site is a place to share my journey, my training, and the quiet work that goes into archery.
Archery has taught me patience, focus, and respect for small improvements.
I believe progress happens slowly, through consistency and care.
I train, compete, and help others learn archery in a way that feels welcoming and steady.
Coaching is about creating a space where people feel safe to learn.
I work with archers who are new to the sport, as well as those who want to improve their skills over time.
My approach is calm, clear, and supportive.
I focus on fundamentals, confidence, and helping each archer move at their own pace.
Training and Development
Training is not always visible.
Most of it happens quietly, through repetition, reflection, and small adjustments.
On this site, I share parts of my training process, what I’m learning, and how I continue to grow as an archer.
On the Range
Archery is shaped by moments.
Practice sessions, competitions, early mornings, and long evenings.
These images and stories reflect the environment and experiences that have shaped my journey so far.
Support and Community
I’m grateful for the people and organizations who support me and make this journey possible.
Their encouragement helps me continue training, learning, and sharing this sport with others.
From the Range
Occasionally, I write about training, competitions, and what archery is teaching me along the way.
These posts are reflections, not announcements.
