Well, the training must continue!

This past season was full of ups and downs. The start of the season provided some bad happenings in my personal life and this seemed to put a strain on the rest of the season. After starting my season off the right way, I started to tinker with my training and technique. I had a plan and then decided to go away from it. Nearing the trials, I was plagued with lots of bad luck and injuries. Over the last 16 days of preparation, everything started to go wrong. Sickness, muscular injuries, nerve injuries and even none throwing related injuries! After all of this, I can say that I was prepared for the trial about 5-6 weeks after it was over. Obviously this is far too late. I made lots of mistakes in my training this past year and I didn't stay with my plan throughout the rough times. My goal is for this year to be more productive in the areas of therapy, injury prevention and fitness. If 90% is done correctly, I will start living up to my potential as a discus thrower. This is something that I have yet to accomplish. I would love to throw over 70m one day, but more than that, I would like to be a world level finalist.

Stay in encouraged J, your time is almost here. Stay on course and take care of yourself. Thanks for all of your advice and training tips you helped me with after I left Texas Tech, and thanks for opening up your home when I did not have a place to go back in 2001. Truly, your blessing is on its way and 2012 is definitely your year!

My name is Mark Kilgallon - I work as an s&c coach with junior throwers in the middle east. Hope your training is back on track. That 1 arm snatch is unbelivevable! I heard that Delis did 100kg.
Good luck
