“Up to your cheek, remember, to your cheek,” said Dakota, head archery coach for the nonprofit NubAbility. It could be the fact that participants get one-on-one instruction. “Boom, look at you; fist bump, fist bump that, alright,” Rogers tells another student. Or, it could be that the activity is truly interactive(互动的).

“I’m getting it perfect,” said participant Kenbe. But if you ask a kid like Kenbe, he loves it because he’s treated like any other kid. “Coaches here won’t ask questions because they have the same thing,” said Kenbe. Every participant at NubAbility’s Archery Clinic has limb(肢体) differences, including the coaching staff.

“My gym teacher couldn’t teach me—or didn’t know how to teach me—because I was missing a hand, so I sat on a bench of the sports ground and watched while everyone else got to shoot,” explained Dakota. “As a young boy, I said to my uncle, ‘No no, I’m going to learn how to do archery.’ So my uncle gave me a little bow and from there I taught myself,” he said. Clinics like these didn’t exist when he was a kid, which is why he’s so grateful to be coaching several of them now.

It’s also why Sam Kuhnert became the Founder and Executive director of NubAbility. It’s an organization centered around making sure kids with limb differences can try and learn just about any sport or activity. Kuhnert hopes these kids will learn that where there’s a will, there are lots of ways to succeed. “The more kids I can get in front of a teacher who looked like them, the more kids that are going to go out and inspire others,” Kuhnert said. Perhaps the most important lesson, especially at this age, is to always have plenty of faith in yourself.
