Interview

Willingness to take myself out of the comfort zone. When shooting in challenging situations I’m able to get the best out of me or even outperform myself.
When it comes to my technique and performance, I am an ice-cold analyst that will leave no stone unturned while seeking improvement.

Competing in college rifle is the best option for me to combine athletic and academic career. Many of the most successful international rifle shooters have trained and competed in US colleges. I’m willing to do everything that I can to make sure that I’m the next one on the line.

Goal is to get the bachelor’s degree with above average grades while striving towards better athletic performance.

Goal in rifle is to succeed in Olympics and have a chance to show my skills there.
Life goal in general is to live a happy life that I can look back without remorse or “ifs and buts”.
