USA Archery Congratulates New JOAD Olympians and Adult Pin Recipients
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado - Earning the JOAD Gold Olympian Award is no small feat. "I was so excited. I didn't think I would ever get that pin," commented Sachiko Keane, age 13, of Precision Archery.
"I tried for a whole year to shoot the scores needed. I actually stopped trying. I spent too much time thinking about my scores instead of just shooting. My coach [Derek Davis] says shoot your form and the scores will follow. He told me to stop trying so hard."
His advice paid off as Sachi finally shot the scores needed to earn the award. For the future, Sachi says: "I would like to make the USAT team and eventually compete for Columbia University."
Olympian Awards, earned by youth archers who belong to a JOAD Club, and Bronze, Silver and Gold Pins - earned by members of Adult Archery Program Clubs - signify continued hard work and dedication to the sport of archery.
Archers wishing to shoot for these awards must be current youth, adult, or family members of USA Archery and part of a registered USA Archery JOAD or Adult club. The awards are part of the USA Archery Achievement Program, which also provides achievement award pins for progressive scoring achievements, and encourages youth and adult archers to set and achieve goals in the sport of archery. Club leaders must request the awards from USA Archery by submitting the request for recognition form along with a signed copy of their scorecard.
In addition to a certificate and pin, Bronze JOAD Olympian awards are recognized with a lightweight jacket, Silver JOAD Olympian awards are recognized with a sports duffel bag and Gold JOAD Olympian awards are recognized with a personalized plaque. Adult awards are recognized with Bronze, Silver, and Gold pins. Take a closer look at what scores will earn you a pin in the JOAD Indoor and Outdoor and Adult Indoor and Outdoor Achievement programs for Compound, Recurve, Barebow and Basic Compound.
Archers: help us celebrate your achievement!
