Maya Cupp

I am ACL Pro Maya Cupp from the Great Lakes Conference and this is my story of how I became a professional cornhole player for the ACL. Summer 2016 when my husband and pro partner, Donald Cupp, built our cornhole boards, we start playing in our backyards with corn filled bags just for fun. In 2017, a friend invited us to a big cornhole tournament and we played in a social division. We did not win and everybody was good (we did not know cornhole been existing here 12 years ago and its a big thing here in Michigan). We then joined in a social cornhole league where we took 3rd. One time while playing cornhole I saw great players playing on ESPN. I was amazed how these player played. I told to my self "oh my God, I am going to play on TV one day". I keep playing as much as I can. I lost a lot but I just kept going and the rest history. To everybody reading this, keep playing be nice to new players encourage them and never give up on yourself. Thank you.
