General
BEST SEASON YET
He described the 2018 season as his best ever after winning his first individual world indoor championship medal and breaking into the top 10 of the world rankings. He had to postpone his honeymoon with his wife Emily after unexpectedly securing a place at the World Cup Final in Samsun, Turkey, where he eventually placed fourth. "Looking back there are always more things I could have done but I am working with my support network to make them stronger. I've been working on a few of my bad habits and I'm looking to push through those barriers and see what else I can accomplish and see how high I can go. [The Olympic Games in] Tokyo isn't too far away now, and I think we are building a strong team to give Australia the best chance to get back on the podium." (worldarchery.org, 13 Mar 2019)

QUIET MUM
His mother Tricia Davis was in the crowd when he won a team bronze medal at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. However, he says her voice stands out and can become distracting at competitions, so she is not allowed to cheer. "It's like picking a voice in a crowded room, you know your family's voice from anywhere so the plan was for her to be on the quiet side so I could focus on what I needed to do."
