Frankfurt, Germany — German Shooting and Archery Federation

While in Frankfurt, I had the pleasure of visiting the German Shooting and Archery Federation (DSB) and meeting with Mr. Jorg Brokamp, Secretary General. Our conversation focused on Germany’s long-standing commitment to archery and the systems they've built to support athletes from development through elite competition.

DSB’s structured approach to coaching, athlete development, and organizational governance reflects a deep-rooted dedication to excellence. Their ability to balance tradition with progress offers valuable insight for how federations can remain resilient and relevant in a rapidly changing sports landscape.

I left encouraged by their professionalism, hospitality, and shared belief that the future of our sport lies in strong national leadership grounded in sustainable, long-term thinking.
