As a coach...

Alex started working as a club instructor when he was 15, became a Level 3 at 21 then a Level 4 at 25. He was a Junior Dream Team (JDT) coach in the United States for 8 years under the guidance of Coach Kisik Lee where he learned the value of the biomechanic archery (NTS or BEST), and worked with a variety of other archers and coaches as a team. Over the years Alex has  coached recurve and compound for both kids and adults, many of whom have made their way to RDT, JDT development and USAT teams.

In 2019 Alex become the Head Coach for Archery Ireland Junior Team and collegiate coach at Trinity University Dublin and Dublin City University and by 2024 he became a Sport Ireland Coach Developer, certifying and training coaches to help develop the future coaches across Ireland.

As an archer...

Alex started shooting at 12, competing at 14. He was Junior Nation champion at 16 and as an adult he ranked in the top 20 in the USA for mens recurve senior division and Texas State Champion.

Since moving to Ireland Alex has continued to shoot and compete to won Outdoor nationals and most recently competing internationally to represent Ireland in the 2024 European championships.

I believe...

Archery is an exploration of self discovery. Where to be successful you must have these 4 pillars to be present, accountable, creative, and most of all have joy in what you do.

Be curious, not judgemental.  If you are willing to work hard and are open to change, you can go as high as you want and travel the world with archery.

Focus on what works for you. Create a personalized process, build confidence, and take your shooting to the highest level.

Have courage to understand yourself. Which can be challenging but extremely rewarding since the more you know yourself the more you will live beyond what you thought was possible. 

My goal

From learning correct form, to tuning a bow, to being able to stay calm in stressful moments, Alex’s goal as your coach is to provide guidance for competition at a national and international level. 

Coach Alex will help you overcome common frustrations so that you can enjoy shooting at any level as you progress in your divisions and rank higher in competition.
