Our head coach firmly believes that competence leads to confidence and that the archer should never stop learning: "Third Eye refers to an ancient principle of wisdom and knowledge. One can never know everything, but once you truly learn and comprehend a concept, and understand why you are doing it, you can become proficient in anything you set out to do. This principle applies to archery and all other aspects of life. There are no quick fixes, but there are simple solutions. Mastery is a path and a journey".
