"I have been competing for 9 years and started lessons with Mary around a year ago. I was looking to take my shooting to a bigger stage and compete more often. Mary has a day by day training plan designed just for me and my needs. I tell her my goals and she tells me how to get there. I told her I have a goal of making the Dixie Double Final but I knew my scores weren’t high enough. I now have a training plan that involves longer drills that test my endurance, finals and also mental work. Since I have started training with Mary, not only have my scores excelled, but my mindset has also improved. My biggest obstacle is nerves. She showed me how to look at nerves as a good thing and not something you should fight. I also learned how to take notes during my matches. Doing so keeps my mind on track and calms my nerves. As much as I have learned through this past year, I also gained a friend in the process. We can laugh together when my SCATT decides to go crazy on FaceTime, but yet she takes my goals seriously and will try her hardest to get me there."
