The Archer

Rekindling the Writing Flame Lost in the maze of my thoughts, I find myself contemplating the direction of my writing journey. Should I continue chronicling my adventures in archery, or should I venture into uncharted territories and explore new topics? These questions echo in my mind, and though the answers remain elusive, the urge to write persists. After much internal deliberation, I've decided to extend my musings on the world of archery for a few more blogs. The future holds the promise of diverse topics, perhaps delving into the realm of travel or other subjects that captivate my imagination. 2018 – A turning point As the curtain rose on 2018, my passion for archery teetered on the brink of abandonment. Monotony had replaced the joy in training, motivation waned amid life's challenges, and dedicating hours to practice seemed an insurmountable task. The very essence of archery, once my solace, felt distant. Then came the call for "Nimes 2018." Indoor sh...

Life often demands defining moments, and I've made my choice – to become a success story and proudly represent my country. Amidst the intense training, sweat, and tears, the joy of doing what I love is immeasurable. Nottingham was the ultimate opportunity to qualify for "Rio 2016," blending a European Championship and a quota qualifying tournament. More than a competition, it was a dream to explore Great Britain, a dream that materialized during this trip. I also agreed with the "Something Something" team to capture more footage for our documentary, adding an exciting layer to the experience. Our journey took us through Istanbul, a familiar yet vast airport, then to Birmingham, and finally, a cab ride to Nottingham. This trip stood out as one of the best experiences I've had. The picturesque beauty of England unfolded, even in the limited time I had. Nottingham, with its sprawling university campus and beautiful surroundings, proved to be captivating. The ab...

Like in the previous blog, again I begin by apologizing for not being able to write as often as I would like too. I absolutely miss this but I cannot seem to find enough time to sit down on my chair, think and write these blogs. However, that being said, I don't plan on stopping it. Actually, I have some more ideas to develop my blog or even create a new one (will keep you posted in this one). After Copenhagen I had a conversation with myself, if I was to continue my career as an archer I had to put my best effort, or stop competing and do it just as a hobby. I am telling you, it's not an easy conversation to have, you have to take a lot of things into consideration before coming to a final decision. At first I started thinking "was this all worth it?", an answer to a question like that ain't easy to come, you think of the time you spent, the good/bad you've done during this time and you try to come to a decision. One thing I kept in mind during this conve...

I want to begin this blog, by apologizing to you guys, I haven't been able to write that much lately, I don't have a lot of time and I cannot seem to find motivation to write, however, whenever I find the time and I start writing, I love it. I am also training for an upcoming important competition, that is taking a lot of time out of my schedule and work hasn't been easy either. I promise one thing though, I won't stop writing, I may delay blogs but I will keep em coming. Today my story goes to the beautiful Viking land. I want to share the story of my time in Denmark, taking part in the World Archery Championship there. 2015 was a big year, I had a lot of training and multiple international competitions and I have to admit I got tired a little bit by the end of the season. This Championship was at the end of the season, I was tired but I had to compete here because this is where the best athletes come and compete, you cannot miss a chance like this and that was the r...

Growing up, I dreamed about doing something to make my country proud. I always was good with sports, and deep down in my heart I believed that one day I will make it to the big scenes (no idea about the sport though, since I loved different sports at different times). Growing up, changing sports, figuring out what I want to do with my life was an important time in my life, however after I figured out my path I put my leg on the pedal and pushed it hard, tried to make my best effort to do something good. Going from competition to competition, made me better. It enabled me to look things from different perspectives, and once you do that you will eventually get better at things. For athletes who go form competition to competition and don't really have time to train their techniques, believe me I know your pain. You can develop bad habits in competitions, you adjust something according to the weather conditions, or you just do to many repetitive mistakes which then will change your t...

Studying, training and youth activities were enough activities to make my days full. I would always be busy, however I loved it. One thing that when I was younger I didn't really like was working a lot, I didn't mind to do one thing at a time but when it came to doing multiple things at the same time I didn't really enjoy it, growing up I started to enjoy it better and better everyday. And at 22 (this is happening in the year 2015) I learned how to live by doing multiple things daily. I felt I was growing as a man working on these things and I absolutely believe that everyone should do this at one point in their lives.  -Philosophy: Going back to high school, when I first started to learn Philosophy I felt how far the human mind has gone and how little to nothing we as individuals know. Learning about the worlds best philosophers, about philosophies. about world views developed from the greatest minds to ever live among us, make no mistake some of those minds have caused ...
