Listen Later

She just brought home a Gold medal from the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, and 1st Lt. Amber English stopped by to join me on the "Run The Race" podcast, which you should subscribe to for inspiring guests talking about fitness and/or faith.
(5:12) This logistics officer on Fort Benning and member of the U.S. Army Marksmanship team talks about beating the best in the world in skeet shooting, and under immense pressure. After breaking an Olympic record, she's now back home in East Alabama.
1st Lt. English opens up about losing her dad, a national champion shooter himself, 5 years ago - and how that led her to walk away from the sport. She also talks about all the training that goes into being the best at shooting and preparing for the Olympics. English also talks about the pride of representing the Army and Team USA, while giving out advice for anyone: Follow your heart, Don't Quit, and One Target at a Time.
