Geena Davis, archer extraordinaire

Talented actress Geena Davis has an unexpected skill, shes an amazing archer! She started practicing at 41 years old, and became the 13th best archer in the United States. She also tried out for the 2000 Olympics and finished 24th of 300. Davis claims to love archery for its meditative qualities, and for its assistance in teaching her so much about herself. She continues to use her platform, and love for archery, to inspire women and young girls around the world to believe in themselves. As Geena says," if she can see it, she can be it."


In fact, at one point Davis was the 13th best archer in the United States and finished 24th of 300 women trying out for the 2000 Olympics, according to the Huffington Post. As if that’s not inspiring enough, in the hit movie “A League of Their Own” – which celebrates its 25th anniversary July 2017 – Davis empowered women to pursue sports and showed everyone that women are just as athletic as men. In the movie, Davis showed women how to dominate a baseball diamond. But in real life, she’s also showed them a thing or two about dominating on the archery range.
