Summary
As the Head Coach of the Mississippi Archery Academy team, I have been the winningest youth USA Archery coach for the past five years. Mississippi Archery Academy archers have won more National Championships and National Medals in the last 5 years than any other youth archery facility in America. In the same time span, I have produced more Youth US Archery National Team members (14 individual archers) than any other coach in the nation. Four of my archers are also international medalists, with three of them being international champions and two of them being international event record holders! I am interested and excited for the opportunity to be the founding Head Archery coach for the SCAD Archery Team! I am confident that I can develop our team into a nationally competitive archery program. I am even more confident that I can develop several of our archers to be competitive internationally.
