Coaching Story

I began working with Alistair way back in 2005 when I first swapped from recurve to compound. Soon after beginning compound I developed target panic, to such an extent that Alistair still says today it was the worst case he’s ever seen. It took me nearly 2 years to recover from this psychological set back in my archery career, but through Alistair’s help and a lot of hard work I over came my target panic and could once again aim at the gold. Since then I have been working with Alistair on a regular basis throughout the year and my scores have always be on a constant up. I have now reached the highest point in my archery career to date, representing Great Britain at a Junior International Level winning numerous medals including a Gold medal at the Junior European Championships in Denmark during July 2012. I have also had successes at International Senior Level making it through to the 3^rd round at Face2Face Amsterdam 2012 finishing in the top 24 and also, Finishing 4^th at Back2Back UK 2012. I hope to continue these successes through Alistair’s help and one day reach Professional Senior Level!
