Personal

[edit]

As a nine-year-old in 2000 Tyack started archery and made his junior debut in 2003. He did not have a coach for his first Youth National Championships, so his mum stepped in to repair his equipment and coach him.[4] His mother became his official coach in 2004 and still coaches him today.[5]
