Best Better Coach Spotlight ~ Lindell got his start with 4-H coaching in 1998, when his two eldest daughters started participating in 4-H shooting sports. Lindell made the decision to become a certified coach, to ensure his kids would be able to participate in aspects of the 4-H shooting sports program. Lindell has been certified in all the 4-H shooting sports disciplines in the state of Oklahoma. He has been state and nationally certified in shotgun and muzzleloader, and county level certified in 22. Pistol and rifle, air pistol and rifle, hunting and wildlife, archery, and western heritage. He has currently served as a 4-H coach for the past 18 years and even though his children are now adults, he continues to volunteer as a coach for 4-H in Garfield County. Lindell says I have enjoyed my time and experiences through 4-H shooting sports, and all these kids have accomplished over the years. The best part of being a coach in this program is getting to watch these kids get started in our sport and grow through the program. Eventually, they will grow up and age out of the program, but I hope to have them back in the future, to help with the youth, passing on 4-H to the future generations to come.
