Through the Point

Welcome to Episode 24 of the Through the Point Podcast, the world's #1 (and only) javelin specific podcast!

This week I was fortunate enough to host the official retirement ceremony of two-time Olympian and Olympic trials record holder Cyrus Hostetler

I am kind of joking because he hasn’t thrown since 2017 but in the middle he told me he never officially retired so he is doing it on the podcast!

In the interview, we hear so much about Cyrus’ amazing journey. He battled tons of injuries, improved 20 meters in 2 years, went to 2 Olympic games, battled with USATF officials and campaigned for athlete’s rights, and talked about the (sometimes) harsh reality of being an American javelin thrower

I appreciate Cyrus being so open and honest about everything he went through. He gave me great feedback before the interview about how he felt he could best express his story and I’m glad I had a platform for him to do it!

Hope you all enjoy!

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

This week I had the pleasure of interviewing Riley Dallzahl who is a 3x World Champion and 2x US Champion

As is common with many of our guests, Riley has a crazy story with how he got involved with the javelin. He started late in high school and decommitted from a baseball/football spot to go throw at NDSU

He battled a ton of injuries in college but decided he wasn’t done and has now accomplished so much and is still improving. His story is really provides so much value in battling injuries, training for the long term, and understanding what will make you happy in life

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

I guess this is technically the start of Season 2 considering I took last weekend off for my birthday haha It has been an awesome time and I’m excited to bring all of you more content! 

This week I had on two masters throwers in Michael Ehr and Joseph Greenberg Something I didn’t know about either of them until the interview was that both of them started throwing the javelin in their mid 30s. 

Michael is now in his early 40s and Joseph 70 and is throwing near the world record for his age group It was awesome to have on two people who were so passionate about the javelin and to hear about their experiences, what it’s like being a masters throw, and how they manage their training with their daily lives.

If you want to check them out on Instagram, Michael’s page is @ehr.michael and Joe’s is @meteorinnov8. You can also check out my page @throughthepoint_podcast! Thanks so much for listening and I hope you enjoy!

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

This week I was fortunate to have on the incredibly accomplished Kim Amb

For those of you who don’t know, Kim is a Swedish thrower who has already been in 2 Olympics, multiple World Championships, and many more major meets at only age 29

This was an incredibly fun interview because I got to learn so much about the Swedish system for track and field, his experiences competing in these major meets, and a bunch of advice for throwers looking to reach that level.

Kim has had a great start to the season so far and is throwing in Germany next week and I’m sure we are all rooting for him to unleash a massive throw so best of luck Kim

If you want to check him out on Instagram, his username is @kimamb. If you want to check out my page, it's @throughthepoint_podcast

As always, thanks for listening and enjoy!

Welcome to Episode 20 of the Through the Point Podcast

This week I actually brought back two guests from earlier episodes, I had on the outstanding duo of Kara Winger and Ariana Ince

It was fun to catch up with them as they have been living together in Colorado and training for the past 3 months

The focus of this episode was “things they wish they knew” and “transitioning from college to post-collegiate meets”

We talked about getting sponsors, finding meets (and being nice to the meet directors), as well as best way to fall asleep on long flights plus much, much more!

Its always fun to talk to these two and I’m looking forward to seeing the results from their potential 1 on 1 meet soon!

Check them out on Instagram @karathrowsjav and @arianaince and check out my page @throughthepoint_podcast while you're at!

As always, thanks for listening and enjoy

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

This week I had on the legend and 2x Olympian Sean Furey

Sean shared many amazing stories about his journey and progress as an elite level thrower

One of the main things that resonated me was his true passion for throwing and his commitment to train for 8 straight years after college to ultimately make his first Olympic team

He is super intelligent and overall just an awesome guy. I appreciate him taking the time to talk to me and wish him the best of luck with his training going forward

You can check him out on Instagram @sean.furey and check out my page @throughthepoint_podcast! Let us know what you guys think, enjoy!

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

This week I had on Grant Benzel who many of you will probably know better as Memes4Throwers

It was actually very random how the interview came about but I could not be happier with having talked to Grant

He was a shot and disc thrower himself who ultimately stopped throwing early in his college career to transition into the coaching realm

So despite not throwing javelin himself, he has worked with many javelin throwers and his page is a focal point of the throws community

He was hilarious, genuine, and just overall awesome to have on.

I appreciate him keeping us all laughing during these tough times!

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

This week I had on not only a javelin thrower but decathlete as well in Carl McCargo

Carl was introduced to the javelin at Riverside CC and went on to have a successful career as a decathlete and thrower at Central Missouri

Carl currently works for the track and field brand ESSX and is the CEO and Founder of TrackBarn 

A really cool fact about Carl is he is the only African American in a leadership and sales role at a track and field manufacturer in the US. Additionally, Track Barn is the only black owned track and field company in the industry

He touched on it a bit in the primary part of the interview but we also dug deeper into lessons and advice he has from that experience after his favorite thrower. I normally give a question prep sheet but our conversation just flowed and I got caught up but I’m thankful he reminded me because I think it’s a really important topic and he gave awesome insight

Check out Track Barn’s Instagram @trackbarn and their website https://trackbarn.com/

Hailey had an extremely successful career in Montana but has lost 2 of her college seasons in the last 3 years

She suffered a torn UCL her freshman year which required surgery and also lost this season due to COVID

She provided awesome insight into how she dealt with all the adversity and talked about her career and goals as well
