I was super excited about the chance to sit down and talk throwing and plenty more with Throw Bros. Sponsored Athlete and former World Record Holder Jarvina Routt. She's been on my list of folks to chat with for a while, and she didn't disappoint!

It's Not Track & Field w/ Kyle Lillie
Start to finish, an excellent conversation with Pro Athlete and Sacramento State Throws Coach Kyle Lillie. We get into it all: the difference between throwing in college and throwing next to the beer tent, wire hammer vs. scottish, drinking after throwing tantrums, and philosophy for throwing/lifting training.

Stones Q&A, Tequila, and Your Baby Bird
After taking questions about Braemar and open stone on social media, I take part in the time-honored tradition of drinking just enough to slur and make no sense, then turning on the microphone.

Customer Reviews
Good stuff.
New to the sport really enjoy the technique talk and training talk episodes
You’ll laugh, you may cry, but you’ll be entertained!
I’m brand new to the Highland Games and looking forward to competing soon! This pod has been great to get the pulse of HG culture, what to expect when you’re expecting.. to compete, thoughts on training, and general opinions of the world and what it has come to. Have a listen. Learn something. Get gud!
Not the worst Highland games podcast
He’s not as entertaining or handsome as Hamish MacLeod and he would certainly die in a sword fight against the undisputed Pirate King. But Mike Beech puts out a good show for Highland Games athletes.
