Meet Our Program Leader: Tim McDonough
Tim has been a STRIDE Wounded Warrior since 2012. He attributes much of his healing journey to STRIDE. He has been involved in adaptive archery since 2014, both shooting and coaching. Some accolades include Air Force trials Gold Medalist X2; Warrior Games Silver medalist; he was the assistant coach for AFW2 leading our team to 13 Medals over 3 years of national Warrior Games competition and the INVICTUS Games. Tim took State Championship in freestyle recurve men’s open for Colorado state 2017 and a regional silver medal for the NFAA northwest region 2018.
Safety is absolutely paramount and his first coaching philosophy. His second coaching philosophy is “have fun”; if you’re not having fun if you’re not feeling the excitement when you hear the “twang” of your bow string and watch your arrow Thwack!” Even more importantly is when you pass the knowledge of archery onto the next generation of up and coming shooters! He will break it down into these 3 things:
- Be safe
- Enjoy shooting your bow
- Love teaching others!
Coach Tim is excited to be back at STRIDE as the leader of our USAA Archery program, and has great plans to coach this program! As a Level III USAA Coach , he has certified 4 other volunteers as Level I and II assistants.
