Season 2020 - Episode 12 Do You Really Want to be Great? - a podcast by Charles J. Infurna, EdD

In this episode I continue to conversation from last week about re-evaluating expectations and the work it truly takes in order to move forward in a positive manner throughout your throwing journey.

I do want to revisit this topic again because I think it is important to provide coaches out there with some strategies and tools they can implement when encountering situations like this.  First off, I’d like to share some feedback I received when I was working on a project a couple of years ago.



The scope of my project was to ask post-collegiate throwers why they continued throwing after graduating from college.  I was really fortunate to interview three American Olympians for the project.  I cannot share their names or the events they competed in because it would give away their anonymity (and would show poor ethics on my part).  



While I was conducting the interviews, I asked everyone the same follow-up question about how much time each individual spent training per week and season.  When I interviewed the Olympians, I asked them how much time they spent training for the respective event per Olympic quad.
