Aspiring Shotputter Looking to Move to Next Level

Training
1

Hi, my name is chris and i just graduated from high school. I am 18 and well built at 6 foot 2.5 inches around 230 pounds. After finishing my lacrosse season I was begged by my high school track and field coach to come throw for him. I did and I was relatively successful.

I placed at two of the three meets and fell short of qualifying at state by a foot. My first meet i threw 36’5" and at regionals i set my personal record at 42 even (I am a glider).

I love throwing and I love lifting weights. Next year I will attend the University of Colorado-Boulder and I have been thinking more and more about training to throw on their track and field team. This is something I am passionate about and I am willing to invest my time in. Do i have a chance?

Uhmm. Wrong forum. Good luck, ask your coach at school next year. And yeah, you always have a chance man.

Umm, this is the “Combat Sports” forum. Please go ask the same question in the appropriate forum found on the list to your right. I bet if you tried really hard, you could find the one that is most appropriate for this thread.
