Stephen Perse student is on target

A Stephen Perse Cambridge student has been selected for the national talent development programme in archery

Stephen Perse Cambridge student Eva D, 13 has been selected to join Archery GB’s Youth National Talent Development Programme. She discovered the sport, aged 7, while on holiday and joined a local club, training three times a week and at weekends.

The programme – which aims to bring forward potential Olympic talent – includes residential training camps, one-to-one coaching and strength and conditioning sessions.

“I was very happy to be accepted onto the programme, which has been one of my goals since starting my archery journey. I’m so thankful to Stephen Perse Cambridge for supporting my competitive pursuits; my teachers have been so accommodating when I’ve suffered injuries and have helped me to balance my education with archery, so I can pursue my passion,” says Eva. “I look forward to improving my technique and connecting with other athletes on the same pathway as I continue on my journey to compete at a global level.”
