To chat, says the rae, is to talk, to talk, to talk a lot without substance or without purpose, because here we have come to talk a lot and give a lot of substance and purpose to this little while today we chatted in depth with Miguel Ángel Montilla, president of the Caracal archery club of Fuenlabrada and This week we commemorate World Breast Cancer Day, as every year we mark October 19th on the calendar to give visibility to information about a disease that affects so many women. Today we have an interview, the less interesting we are going to talk about archery. a somewhat unknown sport that goes beyond disciplines such as Olympic shooting and this Fuenlabrada club promotes a very interesting initiative that demonstrates the benefits of this sport for patients with breast cancer. We spoke with Miguel Ángel Montilla, president of the shooting club. Caracal arch from Fuenlabrada good morning Miguel Ángel hello good morning well yes the truth is that the sport of archery is a sport that does not have the significance that other sports may have but that for example today for health is already Not only physically, but mentally, it is very good. In addition, we are having a very high evolution of national federation cards. That means that people are liking archery and are practicing, and since it is possible to start archery, it is perhaps a process. complicated if to see archery at the end to be able to practice it you have to have a federative science lis and to be able to have a federative license you have to take some introductory courses regulated by monitors who are official and qualified by the royal Spanish federation of archery because we cannot forget that the bow is a weapon, okay, so in the end we cannot practice archery anywhere, it has to be in specific fields and places regulated by the civil guard by a national judge, etc. us who it went to prepared thanks to the town council of Fuenlabrada we have facilities in the Fermín Cacho sports center because it is a large field where we have many meters to be able to practice any shot or any type of discipline in archery so well there we have our monitors who are the that for two courses a year they regulate the initiation courses so that more people can enter. ok to get a little more into the subject, tell us what this sport is like, what are the bases to be able to practice archery well, the truth is that it does not leave anyone indifferent. No one can, I have met teammates who have entered with great enthusiasm and after three months four months they already wanted to get the maximum possible points and then it is a very psychological sport that can become a little frustrating if we do not achieve the objectives that we set then. It is true that it is a discipline that in the end although it seems that physically we do nothing, if there is also a physical part, it is important, there is a technical part that is important and above all the patience to be able to develop this if we want to do competitions because then there are all kinds of archers who come down to de-stress, de-stress, sorry to forget a little about the work week, of all the archery, really psychologically they are very good, also the fact of going down to shoot archery and seeing my colleagues, my colleagues, being able to talk to them and then being able to train there they do a small competition it makes you smile it relaxes you the emotional state is different it makes you forget the routine and monotonous girl and the stress of work out there comes in handy a way to finally disconnect And finally and now let’s talk about a very interesting initiative that you are carrying out and that is archery for patients with breast cancer, a diagnosis that can be very shocking at first. Tell us how this project came about, well yes, the truth is. yes, first of all, saying cancer is already a word that doesn’t scare anyone nowadays. It is true that there are different types of cancer and that perhaps there may be some that are more controlled than others or a priori it is valid depending on when they are caught but The word cancer is something that scares us all a lot today so since we, well, we found out about the initiative, well the initiative in this case that archery can greatly benefit all those women or men. that they have undergone breast cancer surgery in their recovery because from there we start thanks to a colleague and great friend who is the one who makes us all aware a little in all these good help tasks
