My Passion - Clay Target Shooting!!

This Topic is just too huge..

I can carry on writing about it forever.. For the Past 6 Years its been such a big thing in my life - - i will try and keep it short and sweet.

Who would've ever thought i would represent Namibia in Shooting, never mind compete at the Olympic Games..

You see, my family was involved in Shooting since forever; my grandparents won plenty of local competitions in their time (Opa AND Oma), so I guess this was my wiring, my destiny, my purpose..
Its just in my blood...it just kinda happenend.

It started on a fine day very innocently trying out a few shots figuring out what my father and brother were raving about - and it bloomed into my biggest passion.

It has fired up the competitive side in me big time.
I love striving for perfection, and this is what Olympic Trap is about - - PERFECTION..

Now i got my husband addicted too..wonder what will become of our children..

 Thanks to Sport, my eyes have openend up to the world. I am exposed to many different cultures and beliefs and I have grown to respect them, learn from them and see the good in them.

I have made great friends with people from different countries all over the globe.

THIS IS ONE WORLD - ONE DREAM - THE OLYMPIC DREAM !!!

To be Ambassador of my Country makes me proud, it gives me a feeling of belonging and able to make a difference somewhere - no matter how big or small.

After many Uphills and Battles - I can honestly say that the return is priceless and whorthwhile. It gives me 100% personal satisfaction.

So here are some of my favorite pics taken at our home range and of my greater achievements...i will carry my blog with me as i prepare for the BIG ONE - The London Olympics 2012..

P.S. Someone once told me that Luck is not Random. It is attached to those who work hard. Blood, Sweat and Tears are the Ingredients of a Champion. :-)
