THE NEXT LEVEL
The year of 2011 has brought me many highs and lows. I have seen my share of bad days and my greatest day ever so far, the birth of my son. I found my way into a major champs final after a subpar season but then lost my best throw at World Champs of 65m to a slight foot foul. I lost a job of 8 years and my trust in some, but gained a large amount of perspective and from that I have derived that it is time that Jason E. Young go to THE NEXT LEVEL in the discus. I have had long throws, good comps, and close calls, but never have I had as much success as I know that I can achieve. In 2012, with the support of my family and others that back me, I shall work to be among the top tier of discus throwers in the world. Most of these gentlemen train full time and have excellent coaching, biomechanics, therapy and some even have "other things" to go along with the legal parts. I have been training alone, working full time and being emotionally drained from my work. I know that I have something amazing inside of me and so I shall extract it day by day. STAY TUNED!

its about time smart people start posting things online.
good for you man, i will spread the word. go for gold
Great post.
I came across your site because I have just decided - at the grand old age of 35 - that I want to start throwing the discus again. I haven't done since high school, but I always loved the sport. I was trying to find evidence that there are top class discus throwers who are my height - and there you were.
It sounds as though you have had a very up-and-down year. It's also eminently clear that you are a winner. I'm very inspired to hear that you train alone and keep on keeping on in the face of adversity.
It's ludicrous for me to give you advice, but why not take a look at the career of Al Oerter. That guy did some awesome things (even winning an Olympic Gold when he'd ripped his ribcage!) and he had a lot of very wise things to say about the discus and life in general.
Good luck Jason - I will be watching your career from afar with interest.
