Through the Point Scott Fuchs

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

I have taken WAY too much time off but I am back with another episode with the hosts of the National Javelin Summit, Flip Courter and Tyler Rathke

Both guys did not necessarily have a heavy javelin background but have developed a great passion for the event and are putting on an amazing opportunity for anyone interested in javelin

In this episode, I interview them about the details of the event as well as their goals for Missouri javelin as a whole and how the idea came to be

The event is happening February 19th-21st and you can sign up at njs.coachesclinic.com

As always, thanks for listening and enjoy!

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

I kind of broke the top line this week but NOT having a javelin thrower on the podcast, but it was well worth it!

This week I spoke to Lauryn Williams who is the ONLY American woman to medal in both the summer and winter Olympics

She was a sprinter turned bobsled athlete who now works as a financial advisor and helps young professionals organize their finances

I figured that, as javelin throwers, we can all benefit from learning how to be smart with our money to keep us throwing as long as possible!

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

This week I had on Andy White who is one of the top throwers in Canada and had a very interesting journey to get to this point

He was not a highly recruited athlete out of high school, took some time off to work, went to college and developed a ton, had success then did skeleton and ultimately came back to javelin

We love a story about someone finding their way back to javelin! Haha. Andy is an incredibly genuine individual and is someone I have spoken a ton to through DMs. It was a lot of fun getting to know him better and speak to him "face to face"

If you're interested in following more of Andy's journey, you can check him out on Instagram @heyandywhite

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

This week I had on Curtis Thompson who is someone it was challenging to make a title for. It was challenging because of all the amazing accomplishments he has haha

Curtis grew up playing football and other sports and basically stumbled into the javelin one day. He quickly took to it and went on to be a national champion at JavU (Mississippi State) and is now an Olympian

It was very cool to hear the background of how he got to where he is today and I am excited to see him keep throwing bombs!

You can support Curtis on his website curtisthompson.us and check out his Instagram @curt_thompson! Check out my Instagram @throughthepoint_podcast while you're at it! Thanks for listening and enjoy

Welcome to the Through the Point Podcast, the world's #1 (and only) javelin-specific podcast! This week I had on a good friend of mine, Mike Stein

Mike is one of the top high school throwers in the nation and comes from an uncommon javelin state, Iowa

He first reached out to me in the fall of 2019 with some interest in javelin and since then he has progressed like crazy as a thrower

He is now getting attention from numerous division I schools and is graduating high school this year

His story really shows if there is a will, there's a way. His passion for throwing is unmatched

If you're interested in seeing more from him, check out his Instagram @mikesteinthrowing. While you're at it, check mine out @throughthepoint_podcast!

As always, thanks for listening and enjoy!

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

This episode I was fortunate enough to have on Scott Russell who is a 2008 Olympian and holds the Canadian record of 84.81m

His journey was far from easy to get to the point he ultimately reached, including living below the poverty line and near retiring in 2005 when he was convinced by an older couple to continue his career

Scott (him, not me) is an amazing dude and I loved every second of this interview!

As always, thanks for listening and enjoy!
