own facility that will be designed to rank as a Center for Interna- tional Shooting competitions that will differentiate itself from other facilities. Its modern facility and equipment will draw young athletes to train and aspire to become future Olympians and skilled marksmen.
What advice would
you give other clubs or potential clubs about starting a similar pro- gram? Believe in yourself and your program; secure the team who share the same interest and belief; secure a funder who will support the program in its initial stage and this could be the club itself or the coaches themselves; be prepared for any unforeseen challenges and remain truthful to your goals and aspirations for your program.
What has been the key
to your success to date and what will ensure that IMCI is successful well into the future? Success is still in the making with IMCI. It will be a continuing process until we are able to send junior athletes who qualify for a place on USA Shooting’s National Teams and eventually represent
the United States in the Olympic Games. To ensure this process, IMCI will need to attract young, promising athletes that can be introduced to shooting as an alternate sport and to savor its existing juniors. IMCI has also to maintain a viable fi nancial plan that will sustain its programs.
