Ian Edwards (born 1974) is a British archer who competes in longbow archery. Ian Edwards is known for his tunnel vision and incredible mental strength during competitions, skills that have made him one of the British team's go-to mental coaches.[1] In the 3D specialty he won a gold and bronze medal at European level, while at world level he won a gold medal.[2][3][4][5]

He is also a sculptor and he shares how his art sharpened his eye for detail, how archery taught him presence and balance, and why creativity and competition are more connected than most people imagine.[6][7]
