Archery Guyana deepens athlete welfare efforts with NSC seminar participation

– hosts Part II of wellness, nutrition initiative

As Archery Guyana continues to strengthen its commitment to athlete welfare, education, and development, the federation participated in a seminar hosted by the National Sports Commission (NSC) in collaboration with the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) Physiotherapy Department at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall (CASH).
The seminar formed part of a broader national effort to strengthen athlete care and promote evidence-based approaches to injury prevention, recovery, and performance management.

Archery Guyana formally sanctioned the participation of eleven representatives from across its membership, including athletes, coaches, and technical officials.
Those in attendance were Narda Mohamed-Mangra, Anand Mangra, Sean Duncan, Nolan Grey, Greyson Hooper, Michael Forde, Dwain Albert, Rovindra Singh, Ramnarine Ragoobar, Jeewanram Persaud and Karin Toppin.
The Federation expressed its appreciation to Director of Sport Steve Ninvalle and ADoS Franklin Wilson and Melissa Dow-Richardson for facilitating initiatives that strengthen athlete support systems across the sporting community.
In addition, the federation expressed gratitude to Dr Ariane Mangar and the Physiotherapy Department of the GPHC for their partnership in delivering valuable technical knowledge to athletes and coaches.
Building on this momentum and the first workshop hosted in December 2025 by the Federation, Archery Guyana hosted Part II of its Wellness and Nutrition in Archery Seminar on Saturday at the National Racquet Centre.
This interactive session focused on key aspects of athlete wellness, including nutrition, recovery, and overall health practices essential for performance both on and off the field.
The seminar forms part of a series of activities organised by the Federation in recognition of International Women’s Day, highlighting the importance of holistic wellness within sport and encouraging greater participation and leadership by women in archery.
The event was hosted in collaboration with the Guyana Physiotherapists Association, the NSC, and the Ministry of Health.
Archery Guyana remains committed to advancing athlete education, strengthening technical capacity, and fostering a sporting environment where health, wellness, and performance go hand in hand.
