TAA Tennessee State Championship
March 2023
"Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice, and most of all, love of what you are doing."
4 days and over 40 athletes! I'm exceedingly proud of each one of them! Each one succeeded in their own way! Nothing made me happier than to see smiles and laughter while these kids competed. Winning is a great objective and loss will teach us a lesson, but without fun and laughter, it is all for nothing.
For the second year in a row we had an athlete shoot her very first Robin Hood (see photos for priceless expression!).
