I didn't really know that competitive shooting was a sport until I was about 14. I was fortunate enough to get pretty good, pretty quick, and I was able to make the National Development Team in 97 so I don't want to be shooting for about a year, year and a half. That kind of opened up some more doors. I had access to the National Coach. I was able to learn a whole lot more. I was also invited to a national junior camp in the summer of 97, and that was really instrumental in my development. The things that I learned at that camp really propelled me forward in a really positive way. I won the World Championships on July 4th, and I tell you that was, at that point, that was my biggest victory. I had a 5.96, I walked into the final and second place, two points out of first. And I remember walking into the final thinking, I can do this. It's windy, I've already had 60 shots of training, I can do this. You know, I'm going to shoot a good final. And I felt really good about it, and I did. I shot a great final. I think it was the highest final of the eight finalists. After the 10th shot, I looked over at the big monitor, and I saw my face up there, and I said, oh, that's cool. I wonder if I won. And then after that, the scores popped up, and I saw that I was in first place. And I just jumped up out of position and just raised my gun over my head and said, oh, man, it's just a huge, huge relief and just feeling of everything you can imagine that's good. You know, all the work that I've been doing was paying off. And seeing the flag go up that day, and especially on Independence Day, that was something I'll never forget. So cool. January 2004, I moved down here to Colorado to prepare for the Athens Games. And yeah, it was great. We did a lot of work that year. Dave and I worked really hard together on improving my finals, so that I could be successful. So that could be tougher in competition. And it worked. It was a wonderful experience. I think your first Olympics is something that you'll always cherish. A lot of people think that they look for the Cinderella story like, hey, I can, if I train really hard for maybe a year or two, I can make the Olympic team go to the Olympics. Well, maybe you can. Now, if you do want to take it to the highest level, there's a whole lot of work that goes into it. You know, I'm not going to joke about it or anything like that. It's fun work. It's work that I love to do. But you're going to have to make a lot of sacrifices. But at the same time, those sacrifices are worth it. Because the things that you get in return are going to fulfill you just as much as the things you might have to give up. But I always believe that if you want it bad enough, you can certainly do it. Just work smart and eventually dreams come true. I believe they do.
