Advice:
Practice is the key to becoming good at anything that you do. Playing and learning from players better then you will only make you a better player. Practice in an open field not only on the course and learn the skills for every shot in the game. Throw for show and putt for dough, so practice your putting as much as possible.

* Win Worlds or US Open

* To become one of the top distance throwers in the country
* Graduate from the University of Oregon with a degree in Sports Medicine
* Increase the popularity and growth of the sport of disc golf
Additional comments:
I come from a disc golf family,I have grown around disc golf for most of my life. I learned about the sport from my parents when I was 8 years old and have been playing ever since. My parents were introduced to the game in the early 1980’s and playing the sport since 1985. I have attended every World Championship since 1991 and have been to countless other major tournaments even before I started playing seriously.My mother Sharon Jenkins is a three time World champion in the womens masters division (1992, 1994, 1998) and my sister Valarie Jenkins is a world champion in the junior division (2001) and a national champion in womens advanced (2002). She also became the second youngest female to ever win a Women’s World Title (2007 Women’s World Champion). My father Leroy Jenkins has won some big super tours across the country and is credited for teaching me the skills and how to play the game.
