Stephen Perse Cambridge Student on Target to Become Olympic Archer

The young athlete is one of only a few nationwide to be invited to join the prestigious initiative, in recognition of her outstanding archery skills. Eva, who discovered the sport at age seven while on holiday, decided to join Cambridge-based Peacock Archers club while still in primary school. Eva currently competes with older athletes in the U15 category in national competitions, and dedicates three after-school sessions a week and weekends to practicing archery.

The programme prepares high performing archers to compete at the prestigious Olympic level. Participants benefit from residential training camps bringing together the UK’s most talented competitors to develop their form and technique with specialist workshops and strength and conditioning sessions. Eva also receives regular one-to-one training with a national archery coach.

Eva commented: “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. 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.”
