The Throw Zone with Payton Otterdahl

In this episode of The Throw Zone, I sit down with two-time Olympian and NCAA shot put champion Payton Otterdahl, aka P Train Throws, to dive deep into his journey from a multi-sport kid in Minnesota to competing at the highest levels of track and field.

We cover everything from his high school track days, where he almost quit throwing, to his breakout years at North Dakota State University (NDSU), his transition from glide to spin technique, and his rise to professional shot put competition. Payton shares expert insights on shot put training, strength development, overcoming injuries, and the intensity of collegiate weight room culture.

Plus, we discuss his experiences at the Tokyo Olympics and Paris Olympics, his passion for gaming, weightlifting, and reptiles, and what’s next for his 2024 track season, including his first outdoor meet and goals for World Championships 2024.
