Posted on by Posted in Achievement, Archery, JOAD, Ranges, Volunteer, Youth

It is with great pleasure and pride that we announce Sandy Hein as the recipient of this year’s NSSA Sportsman of the Year award!

Sandy has been an integral part of our NSSA family for many years, serving as the Head Coach of our Youth Archery Program. Her unwavering dedication and passion for coaching have had a profound impact on the youth in our community.

We also want to acknowledge the incredible support and contributions from Sandy’s assistant coaches, whose dedication and commitment have played a significant role in the success of our archery program. Together, they have formed a formidable team that has inspired and empowered our young athletes to reach new heights of excellence.

Through her leadership, Sandy has instilled invaluable qualities in our young archers, including responsibility, respect, leadership, patience, trust, kindness, humility, pride, and gratitude. Under her guidance, our young athletes have not only excelled in competitive archery but have also grown into confident and well-rounded individuals.

This year, Sandy’s exceptional coaching skills and mentorship, along with the support of her assistant coaches, have led four archers to earn their Bronze Olympian medals, a remarkable achievement that speaks volumes about their collective commitment to excellence and the success of our program.

On behalf of NSSA, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Sandy and her assistant coaches for their outstanding contributions and unwavering dedication. Their tireless efforts have enriched the lives of countless young athletes and have left a lasting legacy within our club.

Please join me in congratulating Sandy Hein on being selected as NSSA’s Sportsman of the Year. Sandy, your passion, leadership, and unwavering commitment to our youth are truly inspiring, and we are incredibly fortunate to have you as part of our NSSA family.
