Forward by Jim Easton, FITA President
"It is my pleasure to write a foreword to this book written by Mr. KiSik Lee, one of the most experienced and talented archery coaches in the world.
Throughout Olympic history, every sport has had innovators--individuals who were willing to look at problems a little differently, thereby creating opportunities and changes that helped future generations of athletes. Mr. Lee's influence on archery, through his coaching skills, has been unparalleled.Over the last 20 years, Mr. Lee has proven himself to be one of the most successful archery coaches in training Olympic and World Champions and medalists. His archers have won a total of 14 medals (seven Gold) in five Olympic Games, and 23 medals (11 Gold) in the FITA Outdoor Target Archery World Championships.
After years of unrivalled success in Korea, Mr. Lee brought his innovative coaching methods to Australia. With his positive impact, the Australian men won the Gold Medal in the 2000 Olympics and the Bronze Medal in the 2004
Olympics.
Now, we all have the opportunity to read and understand the inside story of how this premier coach has achieved such success on two continents. The archery world will benefit immeasurably by learning about Coach Leešs innovative methods, knowledge and skills in developing high-level archers."
