Hey everyone!! It’s Kylee back at it again with another blog post. I just had a huge win in Illinois!! I accomplished one of my goals, which was to win a big shot while in college. Granted it was regionals, but it was still a really big win in my eyes, especially since I am a freshman. Not very many freshmen can say that they have had a win like this. I worked so hard for this win, and it feels so good to have accomplished something that I know was only possible for my dedication and hard work. I most definitely had to work for this win because while we were shooting there were 13 mph wind gusts. The fact that I was still able to shoot well in these conditions shows that I was bound and determined to win. This wind did get to men mentally a little while shooting. I had to let down so many times in one round that I had to end up taking a zero because I could not get the last shot off in time. I also had a shot where the wind blew right as soon as I shot and it blew my arrow completely off course and it did not hit my paper. I got a little frustrated at that point, but I did not let that stop me.
How I ended up winning was when it went down to the shootdowns. I went head-to-head against girls in my same division. I ended up only winning by 2 points. How this happened was when I was going against the last girl, I actually ended up jerking my arm and missing the paper and getting a zero. Most people would have given up at this point, but I in fact did not give up. I kept my head high and shot the best that I could, and I ended up coming back and beating the girl by 2 points. This just goes to show you guys that you have to have the confidence and determination to win. If you do not have either of these things, you might as well kiss your dreams of winning goodbye. You have to have confidence in not only your shot but confidence in yourself as well. The win will come, you just have to have the confidence and believe that it will happen someday.
