Episode 6 – Training Environment | The THROvacs Podcast
Hosted by Joe & Ashley Kovacs
🎙️ Where our passion for throwing and the Kovacs family collide.

In this episode of the THROvacs Podcast, we’re coming to you from Hawaii, where we're kicking off an early-season training camp that’s become a game-changing tradition for our family and performance.

We dive deep into the power of your training environment—how the people, mindset, structure, and energy around you can shape your success. Joe shares stories from his early career, lessons from the Olympic Training Center, and how the right training partners helped him rise. Ashley brings the coach’s perspective, breaking down what builds (and breaks) team culture and discipline.

We also unpack:

• How to create purpose-built training spaces

• Why structure and reverence elevate performance

• What “finding a way” really looks like

• The long list of people who helped get us here—and why it matters to say thanks

Whether you're an athlete, coach, or just someone chasing excellence, this episode is packed with insight into what makes a champion beyond the medals.
