Paralympian Matt Stutzman, born without arms, has become a world-class archer by shooting with his feet. He trains in remote Iowa, where his only competition is in his mind. So he imagines matches in extreme detail, from the feel of the wind to the sound of a crowd - a technique scientists have shown can register in the brain as if he were physically there.
Stutzman's story is the first installment of our documentary series "The Mental Games." "Going for gold” usually means running the fastest, jumping the highest, or landing most flawlessly. We’re used to seeing athletes’ physical execution - now, with innovative technology and scientific techniques, we can also visualize the mental game. Sports psychology has become a bigger priority around the globe, as countries invest in training their Olympians’ minds to perform under pressure. In these episodes, we will explore how cutting-edge neuroscience is helping athletes breach the limits of what’s possible. What they’re discovering isn’t just relevant for athletes; these tools could help all of us improve our health and productivity.

Ask yourself is Matt one of the most talented Archers in the world, or one of the most determined? The lesson being that he has more challenges in his life than most, and through practiced determination is World Class in what he chooses to do. Remember that when you arrive at life's next obstacle, be determined and achieve.

That 310 yard record that stands is for both disabled and non disabled persons. So that makes this record even more impressive as it takes both the abled and the disabld into account.
