Tom Barker Quotes

This is a sport where the kids that aren`t big enough or fast enough for sports like football or basketball can come in and compete. It`s a great way to build up a kid`s confidence.

Everyone helps everyone else at these competitions. They still want to do better than you, but they want you to do your best also.

You`re not really competing against the other archers directly, so its more friendly. Just because someone did really well it doesn`t mean you`ve done bad. The kids on this team would rather have a personal-best day and not win than shoot poorly and get first place.

The thing about archery is that everyone can do it and everyone can have a good day at it. You don`t have to be an expert.
