Unfortunately, they don't throw the javelin in their league...However, I wish they did because I'm sure we would have a few throwers move all the way up the ranks on the prep USA list!
The kids have progressed very well and are just now learning how to apply force in the right positions and I expect to see even bigger results this weekend at the next meet. The only struggle I have now is fighting to keep my kids in the program. There are so many other activities that these brilliant kids are involved in. It makes it hard to keep them all coming back everyday because they are spread out over so many different social activities. Thats just the selfish coach in me coming out! ;)
My training is going amazing, the shoulder is pain free and I'm doing everything I can to not do anything too much or drastic and to make sure that I'm ready for the big meets later on in the year and into 2011 and 2012. We had a national team camp here last weekend as well and it is easy to see that we are the deepest we have ever been in the mens javelin. We have a few young guys that have more talent than they know what to do with! There will definitely be some BIIIIIG throws by USA javelin throwers this summer...stay tuned!
