France, you were good to us. 🇺🇸
We leave this World Championships proud, honored, humbled - and incredibly grateful.
There are so many people behind Team USA who make a week like this possible.
To our coaches - Marcello Margott, Kyle Barry, Ryan Gray, Anthony Vitale, Kevin Bredthauer and Corey Field - thank you for the time, knowledge, leadership and heart you give this program and these athletes.
To our personal player and program sponsors, especially GI Sportz, for what we can only call the best paint in the game, and JT Paintball, for always showing up for this program and its players - thank you for believing in what we are building.
Julie Roberts continues to raise the bar for our players and families in ways most people never see. 🙌
Robert Gonzales behind the lense taking you inside the entire year 👏👏 with Robert Gonzales
Pat McKenna bringing Paintball Stats to life 📉
Phil Middleton for bringing the heart of Texas to us all all year long ♥️
Christof and the Swiss Consilium crew who take care of us year after year - and quite literally keep us from being lost 😂.
And Ben - FLYCAN MEDIA who jumped right into the chaos and took the ride with us… even if his ride home took a few extra days. 🙏
To our families, friends, sponsors and day-one supporters - thank you for every sacrifice, every flight, every early morning, every late night and every bit of belief you put behind these athletes.
And to the countries and federations we share the field with: we are proud to represent the United States alongside you. The competition matters, but so do the friendships and respect that have grown between these programs over the years. Being ambassadors for our country and our sport is something we never take lightly.
And there was one moment this year that felt a little bigger than paintball.
On our first trip overseas as Team USA, Coach Pauley watched our Women lose a heartbreaking game to Germany in Amsterdam.
This year, they got that one back.
We know you were with us, Coach. ❤️🇺🇸
Thank you to everyone who took this journey with us.
Now we get back to work.
See you in 2027. 🇺🇸
