8th Week of Genius Hour4/16/2021 So going into my 8th week of Genius Hour I really am feeling great about my progress. I am able to maintain a 1.5 inch group which is an important from before where it was about 5 inches. So I think that I can see some improvement there. This has been a good week for Archery with the weather being good everyday. When the weather is good it makes me want to stay outside longer and keeps me practicing. I feel like my goal for this week would be to work on my ability to calm my breathing down before shooting the arrow because I feel like I can get these groups down to 1 inch groups. So thanks for tuning into this week of my blog hope you guys enjoyed the reading of the blog.

7th Week Of Genius Hour4/4/2021 So going on my 7th Week Of Genius Hour and I was starting to hit my stride on this thing and so I was ready after my tournament last week. This week I looked at shooting my bow as a form of relaxation. I felt calmed and realized that shooting my bow was not about my score it was about having a good time and enjoy myself.

6th Week Of Genius Hour3/27/2021 So this week was tournament time. So I made sure to prepare extra well even though I was an alternate for Archery. So as Saturday rolls around I begin to mentally prepare myself for the tournament. So the day comes where we get to participate in our tournament. Our first event is Archery and so that means that I watched them shoot and I got to watch. In a bad way I was hoping something would happen so I could show the team that I had improved. The rest of the day went alright with some highlights in Rifle with a score of 182 and a 170 in shotgun. The rifle was average and the shotgun was a little below average. So that is my summary for this week stay tuned. Peace out.

4th Week Of Genius Hour3/13/2021 As I went into this week I strived to be better and try to get my Archery scores up. So after writing this Saturday night I went into Sunday saying lets make this a better week and lets improve. So Tuesday rolls around and so does the Pre-ACT. I was planning on coming home and working on shooting my bow then I get a text from my Mom saying "Hey you got a Dentist Appointment at 2:30". So I think this will be nothing and I had to pretty much get my whole tooth worked on. So I came home and wanted to do nothing literacy nothing. Wednesday comes along and I think I have not a lot of work and ends up that I have to make up some work from yesterday in my Biology class. So I had a little extra work. Thursday comes and I am just tired after a day of school and I ran some errands later that night for my dad so that has nothing to do with Archery just me writing about my day and week. Friday is now here and the big practice is tomorrow. I finish my work at around 1:00 P.M. so I figured I have a stressful week and I am going to play some video games with my friends. Then as I was just starting to play my Dad walks in and is like "Hey you find out what is wrong with your bow." I responded with "About to go work on it Dad." So I got up and went and figured out that the problem was myself and not the Bow. So Saturday comes around and I am ready for practice. We get assigned Archery first so I walk to Archery get my Bow out and get ready to shoot. Do alright on the first couple of rounds then it felt like I hit a brick wall. I went from 5 off to 25-30 off in a round. I was mad at myself and was trying to keep myself positive. I ended the day with a 140 and a 136. So thanks for reading this if you get the chance. Stay tuned for my Blogs and Vlogs.

3rd Week Of Genius Hour3/6/2021 So this week I am not going to lie I started to lose my motivation. So this weekend I really worked on my overall form again. I was told by my coach on Saturday that my form looks good. So my scores for this week would are a 139 and 146. When I look back at these scores I honestly feel disappointed in myself. So to keep my motivation up for this week I plan on remembering what I am feeling right now because I don't like this feeling. So this is my update for this week and thanks for checking in on my status for this Genius Hour Project.

2nd Week Of Genius Hour2/27/2021 So this week was another tough week. On Monday I was able to get about an hour of practice and another hour on Wednesday. On Monday I was able to work on my form because I was told on Saturday by a coach that my form needed work on. This week was a focus on form less on accuracy. Thursday was hard because I was really tired after school and Friday I watched my little brother. So Saturday rolls around and I head to practice and get to go to Archery first. So I finish my first round with a score of 153. My scores for each yardage was 45,43,36, and 29. My next round was a score of 153 again and the breakdown of yardage was 45,43,42, and 23. So this week was not that great and this also gives me motivation to get better.
