His hunger for shooting knowledge and willingness to learn will make him a strong competitor in the very near future. He will far surpass his goals in the near future." -- Harry Mullins
"John's greatest strength is his heart and I know it will carry him to the next level of competition this year.

He is building the foundation necessary to achieve his goals and is always a fantastic motivator for each of his teammates." -- Amy Sowash
