THROvacs Podcast #4 | Finding Balance: Training, Family & Life Beyond the Ring 🎙️💪

Hey everyone! Joe & Ashley Kovacs here for THROvacs Podcast #4 – where our family life and passion for throwing collide!

This episode is all about BALANCE – how we juggle training, competing, coaching, parenting, and even our growing real estate portfolio. We break down what it really takes to succeed at the highest level, the importance of mental fitness, and the reality of being a professional thrower in a sport with no safety net.

📌 Topics we cover:
✅ Life Updates: Coaching Chinese athletes, traveling for meets, and attending the Arnold Classic
✅ Balancing Priorities: How we manage training, coaching, and raising twins (and yes, Joe changes diapers!)
✅ Pressure & Performance: Why competing at the highest level requires mental fitness, not just mental health
✅ Lessons from the Pros: What we’ve learned from competing against the best in the world
✅ The “Squeeze” Factor: Why some athletes thrive under pressure while others crumble

We also share some behind-the-scenes stories from training, how we navigate the unpredictable world of pro track & field, and what’s next for THROvacs.
