Through the Point

Welcome to the Through the Point Podcast, the world's #1 (and only) javelin specific podcast!

This week I spoke to two of the throwers from the University of Oregon in Ty Hampton and Dalton Rasmussen

Both of them are super talented athletes but they're also awesome guys who provided so much value in the interview

They talked about recruiting, injuries, set backs, and much much more!

I appreciate them doing the interview and will have to have them on again in the future! 

Check them out on Instagram:

Welcome to the Through the Point Podcast, the world's #1 (and only) javelin specific podcast!

This week I have an interview that SO many of you have been asking for haha

It is the 97.76m man from Germany, Johannes Vetter!

He is the second best thrower of all-time and is closing in on the world record

It was awesome to get to know him on a more personal level and I greatly appreciate him taking the time out!

You can check him out on Instagram @johannes_vetter and my instagram @throughthepoint_podcast

Thanks for listening!

Welcome to the Through the Point Podcast, the world's #1 (and only) javelin-specific podcast!

This week I was able to sit down and talk with two of the NCAA's top throwers

I loved this interview because of how different their journeys were to the top and how well they handled their seasons being canceled

Jesse is a fifth-year thrower at Grand Canyon University and Sindri is a sixth-year thrower  (like myself) now at Mississippi State

Definitely tune in to hear about how they go to their positions! Thanks to both of you for coming on

Welcome to the Through the Point podcast, the world’s #1 (and only) javelin-specific podcast!

This week I was fortunate enough to have on my FIRST 90 meter guest in the left-handed Estonian, Magnus Kirt

Magnus has a personal best of 90.61m, was a silver-medalist at the 2019 World Championships, and competed in the 2016 Olympics

It was really cool to learn about his background as an athlete in Estonia (a country I knew nothing about) as well as why he decided to not compete in 2020

He also does not think that left handed throwers have any disadvantages compared to righties, so get rid of all of those myths! Haha.

He is a guest who doesn’t need much more of an introduction, so just check this one out!

You can follow him on Instagram @magnuskirt and check out my page @throughthepoint_podcast

Thanks for listening and enjoy!

Welcome to the Through the Point Podcast, the world’s #1 (and only) javelin specific podcast

This week I was fortunate enough to have on someone who as a former DIII thrower myself, I admired for his amazing performances

That person is NCAA DIII record holder Tim VanLiew

Tim threw 75.55m at a DIII school so we need to appreciate that for a second, completely insane haha

Tim was also a soccer player in college who considered track his second sport. He threw a bit in high school but didn’t even plan to throw at his school of Rutgers Camden

But as with many of my guests, the javelin somehow makes its way into their lives

A crazy fact about Tim is that he said he only threw off a real runway TWICE while training in college

My biggest take away from this was our discussion about the right “fit” for schools and not just focusing on the glamour. So high school athletes, pay attention! Haha

I appreciate Tim taking the time to talk to me, and hopefully you can all learn something from it!

As always, thanks for listening and enjoy!

Welcome to the Through the Point Podcast, the world's #1 (and only) javelin-specific podcast!

If over the past couple of weeks you have been wondering where in the world Javelin World went, this episode has the answers haha

Javelin World was by far the #1 javelin page on Instagram with over 40k+ followers. It is pages like that which have inspired my work for the podcast

However, it was ultimately deleted by Instagram after allegedly infringing on copyright issues similar to what happened when I posted the Vetter video

The page is, or was I guess, run by Kyler Osborne who is a former Division 1 thrower at Boise State and UConn

Kyler’s passion for the javelin is clear throughout this interview so it’s really sad to hear that a company who will not be named, in writing at least, got his page deleted

We unpack his future plans for Javelin World, why he loves javelin so much, as well as life after javelin

If he brings the page back officially I will be SURE to promote it. I think I speak for the entire javelin community in thanking him for the work he had done with the page over the years

Thanks for listening and as always, enjoy!

Welcome to the Through the Point Podcast, the world's #1 (and only) javelin specific podcast!

I apologize for the slight hiatus, I had a couple of interviews and am just now getting to releasing them

This week we have our FIRST non-javelin thrower guest, but I think he is someone who can help javelin throwers out a ton

His name is Tim Brennan and he is the founder of Torch College Recruiting which just officially launched on Monday

Tim was a thrower at Dartmouth and has been involved in the track and field world his entire life

Torch is changing the game for track and field recruiting, making it far easier to communicate with coaches than ever

This can be huge for my high school/junior college listeners to have a great opportunity to get your name out there

In addition, if you sign up before October 1st using the promo code TORCH4EVER you get a free lifetime membership

Just so all of you know, this is not a paid sponsorship or ad or anything like that. I saw Tim’s idea and felt it really aligned with my ideas and is something truly great for the community

If you want to learn more, you can check them out on Instagram @torchcollegerecruiting or at torchcollegerecruiting.com

If you end up signing up, send it to me and I’ll share it on my story! Hope you all enjoy

Welcome to Episode 27 of the Through the Point Podcast

This week I was fortunate to have one someone who it would be hard not to know if you follow javelin Instagram

I spoke with Greg Millar, or @gregthrows, on Instagram

Greg is the #1 thrower in Scotland, is a massage therapist, studies biomechanics, and is amazing with a camera

A fun fact too is that Greg is the first person I reached out to for help when I started throwing the javelin haha

I loved speaking with him because it was great to hear about his career but also awesome to see how javelin is intertwined into his daily life

With those occupations, it’s easy to see the influence javelin has had on him! For a ton of great javelin content, check him out on Instagram like I said @gregthrows

Thanks for listening and enjoy!

Welcome to Through the Point Podcast, the world's #1 (and only) javelin specific podcast!

This is the actual episode 26, I made the mistake of calling last episode number 26 haha

This week I was fortunate enough to have on Sigrid Borge, a Norwegian thrower who has thrown 63.28, qualified for the World Championships, and hopes to make the Olympics next season. All at the age of 24!

We had a really fun conversation where we talked about her returning from a torn UCL, how the athletics system in Norway works, what it’s like to be coached by Andreas Thorkildsen and train with Sara Kolak, and lessons she has learned in her short but impressive career

Sigrid was so much fun and I wish her all the best in her recovery period. I know she will be ready to throw far in the Olympic year. Hopefully I can have her and Sara on together sometime!

If you want to check her out on Instagram, her page is @sigbor and check out my page @throughthepoint_podcast!

Thanks for listening and as always, enjoy!

Welcome to the Through the Point Podcast, the world's #1 (and only) javelin specific podcast!

This is Episode 25, not 26 so my apologies in the intro haha

This week I had on my first ever coach/athlete duo in Andrew Bloom and Eloise Cappellano

The pair worked together at Whitworth University in Washington which is known as a Division III powerhouse in the javelin

During her time as a coach at Whitworth, El has worked with 21 All-Americans and 2 National champions, one of those being Andrew Bloom

Andrew is a national champion, multiple time All-American, and one of the best throwers in Division III history.

What is crazy about their stories is neither of them expected to be involved in the javelin at all. El was a distance runner for her career and never participated in a single throwing event. Andrew only started throwing after being cut from the baseball team after disobeying the coach’s orders and playing intramural Frisbee.

Stories like these are what make this podcast so enjoyable for me, you truly never know how people found the javelin

If you have any recommendations on other coach/athlete duos you want to hear from, feel free to let me know! I loved this idea and want to do it again soon

Thank you to El and Andrew from coming on and as always, enjoy!
