Hey everyone!! It’s Kylee back at it again with another blog post. I just had a huge win happen in South Carolina, Myrtle Beach. This win really made me realize that hard work really does pay off. I never thought that I would have ever gotten out of my slump, but I got out of it and won on the big stage. This has made my drive for archery even stronger. This win gave me the confidence I needed that I could achieve what I set my sights on. As the saying goes, when the going gets tough, the tough gets stronger. What was great about this tournament was that I shot the same score back-to-back for different events. The scores that I shot were only 5 points from being a perfect score. When I went into this tournament, I didn’t think that I was going to do very well because of being in a slump for so long. I have lost all of my confidence and honestly, I did not really care what I shot. This mindset is a good mindset, but in this case, it was not good because I had lost all of my confidence.
There were some setbacks during this tournament as well that I had to overcome. Before I shot my first round, I was paired with a left-handed shooter, so we were face-to-face. I asked him if he wanted to switch sides so that way, we were not staring at each other. He denied this offer so while we were shooting, we of course were face to face. Most shooters would have let this get to them, but I just said well there is no sense dwelling on shooting with a lefty, just try to make the best of it. So, while we were shooting, I started shooting pretty well and started to have some fun and I shot my first really good score of that tournament. I distinctly remember that while shooting that kid asked me how I shot so well, and I replied with because I practice every day.
