I'm putting this in it's own thread because it's not so much a community request as a usage mismatch.

Sports fans love to discuss games, see links to coverage, or find out about transfers etc. People who do sports are often wanting to discuss their own experiences or find help and support.

This feels to me like two very different needs which, when bundled together, deter engagement.

What are your thoughts?

Has anyone got tips for overcoming distraction?

This morning I was getting in some archery practice before the day gets too hot (I managed to knock out just over 100 ends without feeling achy, which is good progress in terms of conditioning) however I struggled with concentration ... there were many things to distract me, mostly noise but also being attacked by mosquitos and a little frustration with part of my technique that I need to work on.

I took my time to breathe and try to focus, but with someone splitting bricks by hand nearby it still cut into my head.

So, any advice would be appreciated!

I'm lucky to have a space (with nothing killable behind it) in which to practice, this was at 15m but I can go up to 30m (if I don't care about having any grouping ... I'm still quite new)
