The pattern that Dax and Geena identify is consistent: when the external world becomes uncontrollable, find something precise. After the chaos of Cutthroat Island and the uncertainty of what came next, Geena watched archery coverage from the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and had an immediate, visceral response. She found a coach, started competing, and trained like an athlete — four to five hours at the range every day, not in a backyard. Two and a half years in, she had won the California Cup and qualified from a field of 300 to be one of the top-32 semifinalists at the U.S. Olympic trials for Sydney 2000. She even got to travel to Sydney a year early for a venue dress rehearsal, wearing the U.S. uniform and walking out to the crowd. She didn't medal. She didn't care.
Geena Davis practiced Olympic archery four to five hours a day and qualified as a semifinalist for the 2000 U.S. Olympic trials after only about two and a half years of training.
Out of 300 competitors at the national archery tournament, Geena Davis finished in the top 32 and qualified for the Olympic trial semifinals.
