Women & Girls in Sport Month: Robyn Geddes

As part of Women and Girls in Sport Month, we asked our archery community to share their stories with us.

This week we have Robyn Geddes share her story and she gives some great advice – thanks Robyn!

''I have been doing this sport for 12 years this year, and am continually inspired by the women that compete in this sport. This sport allows everyone to participate, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t still hurdles for women to jump over at times (trust me, I've faced a few). My tip to the women reading this is to never stop fighting and don’t let anyone tell you what you’re worth, because you are capable of doing anything as long as you keep the spark alive! Another tip is to speak to the wonderful women on the line around you, they are the people who will get you through every tough day of shooting, cheer you on when you succeed and push you to do your very best.

This women in sport month I want to put a particular shoutout to my Mum, an absolute powerhouse in this sport who’s supported me through many ups, downs and everything in between. It was one of the greatest moments of my career watching her win her medal in Nimes, and I’m so proud of everything she’s done (and I definitely don’t tell her enough!)

I wish all the wonderful women out there an outdoor season full of good shooting, PB’s and hopefully great memories!''

We would love to hear stories of how you got involved in Archery, and why you love the sport to help us celebrate Women and Girls in Sport month. If anyone in Archery inspires you, you can also tell us a story about the person who inspires you.
