Transcribe →Episode 60: Summer and Winter Olympic Medalist Lauryn Williams
Dec 8, 202100:52:20Tap to summarizeWelcome to the Through the Point Podcast, the world's #1 (and only) javelin-specific podcast! I kind of broke the top line this week but NOT having a javelin thrower on the podcast, but it was well worth it! This week I spoke to Lauryn Williams who is the ONLY American woman to medal in both the summer and winter Olympics She was a sprinter turned bobsled athlete who now works as a financial advisor and helps young professionals organize their finances I figured that, as javelin throwers, we can all benefit from learning how to be smart with our money to keep us throwing as long as possible! If you liked this interview and want to learn more about Lauryn and Worth Winning, you can check out her website worth-winning.com and check out her Instagrams @lauryncwilliams and @worthwinning As always, thanks for listening and enjoy!

Nov 30, 202100:59:49Tap to summarizeWelcome to the Through the Point Podcast, the world's #1 (and only) javelin-specific podcast! This week I had on Andy White who is one of the top throwers in Canada and had a very interesting journey to get to this point He was not a highly recruited athlete out of high school, took some time off to work, went to college and developed a ton, had success then did skeleton and ultimately came back to javelin We love a story about someone finding their way back to javelin! Haha. Andy is an incredibly genuine individual and is someone I have spoken a ton to through DMs. It was a lot of fun getting to know him better and speak to him "face to face" If you're interested in following more of Andy's journey, you can check him out on Instagram @heyandywhite You can also follow my page @throughthepoint_podcast while you're at it!

Nov 17, 202100:49:50Tap to summarizeWelcome to the Through the Point Podcast, the world's #1 (and only) javelin specific podcast This week I had on Curtis Thompson who is someone it was challenging to make a title for. It was challenging because of all the amazing accomplishments he has haha Curtis grew up playing football and other sports and basically stumbled into the javelin one day. He quickly took to it and went on to be a national champion at JavU (Mississippi State) and is now an Olympian It was very cool to hear the background of how he got to where he is today and I am excited to see him keep throwing bombs!

This episode I was fortunate enough to have on Scott Russell who is a 2008 Olympian and holds the Canadian record of 84.81m His journey was far from easy to get to the point he ultimately reached, including living below the poverty line and near retiring in 2005 when he was convinced by an older couple to continue his career Scott (him, not me) is an amazing dude and I loved every second of this interview!
