Bright Spots (July ‘05)
(originally posted 7/12/05)
A couple of bright spots to report today - First, it appears that I've held at #24 in the discus rankings without having posted any improved marks since my first one back in April (when I was briefly #3!). Second, I had a very encouraging training session yesterday evening.
I think I made some real progress in my discus drills, which will help prevent over-rotating, and in blocking stronger. In javelin, I think using the mental image of a tennis serve at release is going to help quite a bit. The key here is to get enough reps in so I can build up the proper muscles to carry it off during competition. 40 meters in discus and 35 meters in javelin are not out of the question at the USATF Nationals in August.
