How sweet is that right? When she was 12, her father was a hunter actually, and he learnt from his father and uncle's that how we got that, and he would pick me up for hunting, and I was pretty fun; she just shot 6 out of 25 for the moving objects that look very cool for her in those days.

SCTP introduced the international bunker trap.

That is the camp with the bunch of shooters in Colorado where most Olympians and the Para Olympians train for. Thirty more children were training with the team USA; they would help the kids improve them in the game, and it was the beginning this began the connection with the Olympic community.

Father helped me physically and emotionally.

The person who was introduced into the games was her father, and he initially found the game in the Olympics, and then he introduced her into the camps that would reach the bigger stages like the Olympics. Daily training was necessary, so he helped her with that in physical trainings and her emotional trainings.

Scott Magno was my blessing.

Who is he? He was the coach working with Maddy in her college days; she says that he was the really blessing of her game in what she was playing now. He made her think out of the box, and he would experiment with her game and wanted her to play the extra round. She says that he was one of the reasons for the game she was playing now.

Olympian and the Lab technicians

Her major was in biology and biomedical; she worked as the lap technician in Watertown, Wisconsin, to develop semens for the cattle. The very few shooters would take their full-time job in any other majors, and she was one among them. Also, she was working for the farm near her house, and she was handling the equipment on the farm.

2016 started shooting Full-time.At the initial stages, I wasn't actually into the game, and then days went back. I started the game in back 2014, but I took it professionally in 2016, and I qualified for the actual game in 2017; this is just the period where my Olympic journey started. 

Skipped Junior Nationals directly to Olympics. She was the one to skip the junior nationals because most of the players would experience the game to make the game more spicy and interesting. But she skipped making her world cup tour .
