My 3rd USPSA Match: Growth, Malfunctions, and My Best Stage Yet

I just wrapped up my third USPSA match at Freedom Center in Atlanta — and this one had everything. Early wins that boosted my confidence, a heartbreaking jam that threw off my rhythm, and a rollercoaster of nerves and self-doubt that I had to fight through on every stage.

But I kept going. I reset, refocused, and pushed through the frustration — and by the end of the match, I walked away with my best stage score ever.

This video follows the full journey: the moments that went right, the moments that went wrong, and how I learned to stay calm, adapt, and trust my training even when things didn’t go as planned.

Stick around until the end to see how my lowest score and highest score of the day came together to create a story of growth, resilience, and real progress on my USPSA path.
