The review was undertaken by Gemma Morgan, Managing Director of Morgan Eight (www.morganeight.com), who has worked with performance organisations over the last fifteen years. She has worked on London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Gold Medal Campaigns and with over 20 Olympic and Paralympic Sports.

The Board wishes to thank Gemma for her in-depth study and findings. It especially wishes to thank the archers and staff who participated in the individual interviews and the group sessions.

The findings included the following commendations:

• Facilities and equipment are World Class
• Biomechanical provision is also World Class
• Existing staff are experienced and dedicated, providing a solid foundation for the Rio Cycle
• The right programmes (e.g. the three-tier Talent and Development Programme) are now in place
  

The following recommendations were made:

• A whole programme focus is created, meaning that Olympic, Paralympic and Talent Development become one sharing knowledge and resources
• The work to develop a strong leadership team is continued
• A focus is placed on team dynamics to maintain and increase the progress made thus far
• Although the right programmes are in place, further work is required for them to become integrated and applied effectively
