As a lifelong supporter of , waiting for latest scores and results is always a nervous experience. So being involved with has been a refreshing change - there has been so much good news over the past few years, I look forward to phone calls and e-mails with great anticipation when Team GB is competing abroad.

My role is to then promote those success stories, though it is not always easy trying to persuade a to find space for a minority sport - though I hasten to add, with appreciation, that the 成人论坛 Sport website in particular has always been an enthusiastic supporter of all sports, not just the high-profile ones.

I often wonder if it might be easier to persuade my two sons to support the same football team as I do, than catch the eyes of sub-editors on national newspaper sportsdesks, and tempt them to give our archers the boost of when they've won medals for Britain. But such is life, and I relish the challenge. And it is very rewarding when something does appear!

It is not just success on the international circuit that has me wanting to shout loud on behalf of archery. There are someand, where relevant, I do my utmost to make sure they receive the public recognition they deserve. So many people have been such great servants to the sport for many years, and deserve any plaudits that come their way.

Archery has become an important part of my life, but so too is my work as a journalist. And though I have been associated with the team producing sports bulletins on for enough years to have earned me a if I'd been a footballer or cricketer, I still take an enormous amount of professional pride and satisfaction from the output our small, but talented, team produced day in, day out.

I also love writing for websites and magazines, and started my career as a writer on , before spending a year as a member of the sportsdesk at , and then moving into the broadcast media thanks to the 成人论坛.

All in all, I'm lucky to have a variety in life, and I get to meet some lively and interesting people. But the most important part of my life are my two sons, Daniel, 10, and Hugh, eight. Both of them have already shown a keen interest in archery, and that's great. But they just won't be budged when it comes to persuading them along to the Ricoh Stadium to cheer on Coventry City!
