You are in Charge of Javelin for the UK, what would be the 1st thing you would do or change?

What the would be your advice to a Young Thrower coming into the sport, say 14/15 years old?

Given the complexities of the event, what would you focus your time on to get the greatest increase in the shortest time for an old Fart like me, sorry, for a Veteran like me?!

You have a group of small kids around 12 to 14, apart from the fun aspect, what sort of things would you include in your sessions as a Coach?

What puts you off in a competition more than anything else?

What question have you never been asked, that you wish someone would? ;D


Not a lot there then young Man!

how do you think you should balance out throwing from your life e.g. life = 100% how much does jav take up, spending time with family, on other sport, with mates etc......

[Patience]

Is Slinger ever going to make it up to Jockoland?

1 What is it that you love so much about javelin to make you comeback after such a big injury, given that you are unlikely to ever 'make it' now?

(sorry-not trying to bring you down lad)

2 Have you ever considered getting dreadlocks?

(i might be now though)

3 If you could go back and do things differently, what would you change?

[slinger]

4 This country often has a good crop of promising young javelin throwers but very few ever fulfill their potential. Having once been in that situation yourself can you give an insight into why this is? Is there any wisdom you would like to share with such youngsters from your experience.
