The archers’ and the authors’ reflections demonstrate the importance of incorporating self-control training in an idiosyncratic manner to achieve positive performance outcomes. The results indicated a complex self-control-performance relationship, potentially underlined by the athletes’ preperformance mental state, self-control strength, and subjective perceptions of temporarily available self-control resources. to meet the essential requirements of archery sport. Archers self-reported data on their trait and state of self-control and mental states during several performance situations in training and competition. important psychological factors include concentration, relaxation and different types of attention. The two archers practiced (in consultation sessions, training and competitions, and independently) a range of well-established intervention techniques (e.g., self-talk, performance routines, mindfulness) designed to increase their self-control strength and focus on the present shot. Archers’ ability to control their performance sequence is partly dependent on self-control. Recurve archery is a closed, self-paced shooting sport, which requires exerting control over physical and mental elements. Under ego depletion, subsequent self-control acts are executed less efficiently, potentially resulting in lower effort and attentional focus. According to this model, the ability to control the self is based on a finite resource that can become temporarily depleted. In this case study, the authors’ aim was to apply the tenets of the strength model of self-control () with two Israeli competitive archers over the 2019–20 season.
