Testimonials

Coach Linda has literally watched and coached me through millions of arrows shot. Linda has not only taught me the mechanics of shooting my bow, but she also has given me the tools to be able to mentally compete at a national and international level. She has a way of explaining things that will meet each archer’s needs. Her knowledge and love of the sport shines through.  Whether you are just starting out or want to push to the next level of completion, she will guide you through it all. Thanks Coach Linda - it’s been an amazing adventure. Super proud to represent USA archery at the World Cups in 2023. 

Brian & Michelle 

Our son, Sawyer Sullivan, started working with Coach Linda when he was 12 years old. They have worked together for the last 6 years. Coach Linda started with the fundamentals and built from there. Her knowledge of form and process is the best out there. Her ability to communicate with her students and give them the tools necessary to continue to grow and learn is simply amazing. We have had the pleasure of watching Sawyer grow from a little bowman to shooting in the senior class in the 2022 season. He will be representing USA archery in the 2023 season as he travels the world and shoots at the World Cup events. Not only Linda’s guidance in archery, but also her mental management knowledge has been a huge part of Sawyer’s dream coming true! 

Jon Solomonson (Kort’s father)

Kort started working with Linda at age 11. Kort was and still is a youth that loves shooting his bow. We searched for a program in our area to get him more involved with archery and support his passion. We were fortunate enough to find Linda Beck. Linda’s experience and knowledge speaks for itself, and it is very apparent when you start traveling to different tournaments talking with different parents, coaches, and kids. 

Kort’s main interest when we started was simply bowhunting and shooting his bow in the yard. After meeting and working with Linda, Kort quickly took interest in competing in tournament archery. Again, being a parent with no experience in the tournament world things can be a little intimidating, but Linda made everything very easy for us to get involved and be able to support our son in the sport he loves. She knows how to progress kids at a pace that suits them. She also does an excellent job helping parents understand realistic expectations, and how to support their child in this sport. Kort has learned immensely from Linda about correct archery form, shooting processes, mental processes, and sportsmanship. Linda has greatly condensed the learning curve for both Kort and I. This has resulted in Kort making podium appearances at local, state, and national levels in a very short period. Competition archery along with the discipline he has learned from Linda has also allowed him to progress as a bowhunter at a very fast pace. He learned at a very early age how to remain calm and stick to a disciplined process during that moment of truth hunting.

No matter your age, goals, experience level, student or parent I highly recommend Linda!

Linda has taught me so much in the 2 years I have been working with her. She has taught me archery form and discipline. Even with being young Linda has a way of coaching that I can understand and can learn from. She is very experienced and knows what she is doing. When I was young, I was just a bowhunter, now that I have started getting lessons from Linda, I have created an interest in target archery. This has helped my discipline and has made me better at hunting. Linda has helped me through rough times as an archer but has also taught me lessons that have helped me experience the very best times as an archer. Linda has current and former students that are archers I currently look up to. I am excited to be working with Linda and knowing she will help me achieve my goals as an archer. 

I have been training with Linda since I was ten years old and over the 9 years I have been training with her my archery career could never have excelled the way it has, I have won numerous state, national titles, attended world championships and came home with gold and silver medals, made cadet and junior USAT for four consecutive seasons and was number one overall all American my freshman year of college under her watch. She is so good when it comes to picking up on some of the smallest details of an archers form to help achieve optimal consistency to make each and every shot count. Her knowledge in the mental aspect of archery is exceptional, the amount of information she has can help improve anyone’s mental game from any level in their archery path to becoming great. 

 Linda is more than a coach, she supports us and cares about us. She wants to know what’s going on in our lives. She wants to be there to cheer us on. We can always count on her to be there to help us figure things out. She is a great coach who understands that we are all different so she has to coach us all different.  She has helped me succeed and improve my skills. 

I started working with Coach Linda in 2017 as a USA Archery Dream Team Camp attendee. I eventually went on to make the USA Archery Dream Team where Coach Linda worked with me on perfecting my form. Today I continue to work with Coach Linda as a member of North Central Elite Archers (NCEA). 

Coach Linda has worked with me on my mental game for the last few years. We have sessions via Zoom calls, and we work closely at camps and tournaments.

Some of my most valuable sessions focused 100% on my mental game. 

While overcoming target panic Coach Linda has been patient, kind, and no nonsense when I need it. She learned about me as an individual archer and knows how I think. She has been one of my number one supporter and she has made me believe in myself again. I have never had a coach that has cared and invested in me as much as Coach Linda has.

   I have been working with Linda for two seasons now and only wish we could have crossed paths sooner. From the fundamentals and technique to bow tuning and fitting advise to mindset and mental preparation…she can do it all to take your game to the next level. She is an outstanding teacher that has prepared me to execute when the pressure is on.   

I began working with Linda in Dec. 2021. I have learned so much in the past 10 months.
There are so many things a professional coach knows that the average archer has no idea of. With her guidance I made the 2023 USAT team. More importantly I am enjoying shooting more than I ever have.

I have had the amazing opportunity to work with and learn from Coach Linda over the past four years. She helped me train to make the 2019 Youth World Team where I was honored to come home with a Gold Medal in the team rounds with Coach Linda by my side.  Coach Linda has helped me better understand the technical aspects of my shot process and equipment setup. She has also helped me with the mental aspects of archery and worked with me to set up training plans that meet my needs. Anytime I have a question, she is right there to help me through it. The abundance of knowledge she has about archery has
helped me compete nationally and internationally throughout the past few years! Thank You Coach Linda for your continued help and support!

“Coach Linda has supported me, helped me through my lowest of lows, and celebrated with me through my wins. She has helped me reach my highest potential both through my mental game and performance. Her skill and passion for coaching are beyond everything. Coach Linda is willing to adapt her coaching style to match that of each of her archers. She makes sure she can connect with each of her archers and makes her coaching environment a safe space to learn and express herself. I have worked with Coach Linda for four years and have enjoyed every moment. I believe her enthusiasm and honesty in every aspect of coaching make her one of the greatest coaches. She is never afraid to give feedback and is always willing to hear our opinions and objections and come to a common agreement. Most of all she is knowledgeable, patient, kind, and always has time for stories, jokes, and ice cream. 

Thank you, Coach Linda, for your support!! Without you, I would not be the archer and person that I am today”.

I live in Israel where there are very few compound shooters and thus I was looking for a personal coach overseas and got lucky to be introduced to Linda through a recommendation. 

I started by sending her 2 videos of me (from front and from the back ) shooting. She quickly sent me these videos back with brilliant verbal detailed explanation along with graphic visualization with her special coach application.

In the very first response she accurately identified my shooting form problems and in an excellent methodic way explained me how I shall fix them.

Linda gave me the confident that I am in the hand of a very professional coach who takes pride in her work and have great communication and love to share her vast knowledge. 

I keep advising with her and ask for her supervision hence she has awesome awareness of body position and can detect minor technique issues that enable me finally to build a good foundation and constantly improve my shooting.

Working with Linda is not only very helpful but also very pleasant with good vibes that give me motivation on the never-ending journey of getting closer and closer to perfection.
